why he calls it “Twinkie Defense” is beyond me
Friend Perry Metzger begins the bloguine.
you had to have been there before 2004 October 18
I’ve resigned myself to the thought that without comments my blog is never gonna make the big time like Boing Boing, Scripting News, Instapundit, Doc Searls, Andrew Sullivan, Jason Kottke, Salam Pax, USS Clueless, James Lileks or The Volokh Conspiracy. (Examples selected from myelin.)
yet another item of mere historical interest
In two months and a bit since opening comments, this blog received just eight, of which half were mere applause; and Blogger makes handling comments a bit of a nuisance. So I’ve turned commenting back off; and incorporated the four substantive comments as addenda to the original posts, which is what I do anyway when someone bothers to write to me.
Can you tell that I’m grouchy today?
Later: One friend takes the above as a complaint – he did not use the word whine – about your collective failure to provide more comments. Please set your minds at ease! I opened comments only because that same friend remarked cattily two or three times on their absence; on closing them I felt a duty to announce and explain the end of the experiment.
I dreamed that Ed Pegg had closed down Mathpuzzle and moved to the Balkans. (Whew.)
Those, if any, who enjoyed my terse libertarian rants of yore are invited to my comments here and here and here on AnarCapLib, a group blog of Indian individualists which I’m reading because Russell said to.
Next Sunday is Anita Rowland’s birthday.
Later: Anita commented: Most years I share a pastry with a film festival friend between movies to celebrate my birthday, but no full series pass this year though I may choose a few movies to view. So I’ll probably go see Shrek 2 with my husband and have a nice dinner out somewhere.
