Collected Miscellany

Free stuff Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:30:18
Book cover via Amazon FYI, for those interested in these sorts of things: Women on the Web, an online women’s magazine, is giving away a beach bag containing an autographed copy of Jane Green’s The Beach House, Lancaster sunscreen products and a custom beach towel to five lucky readers. addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fcollectedmiscellany.com%2F2008%2F09%2Ffree-stuff%2F’; addthis_title = [...]

I hope this means more books available for Kindle and available on the publication date. I seem to have looked at a few books who were not available on the Kindle until after the hardback had been released. Might have something to do with the publisher’s profit on each item. I would love to see digital [...]
Lamplighter (Monster Blood Tattoo, Book 2) by D.M. Cornish Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:00:32
Book cover via Amazon Way back in May when I saw that the second book in the Monster Blood Tattoo series by D.M. Cornish, the sequel to Foundling, was being released I was excited. But I will admit that I was a little nervous when I saw that Lamplighter was such a large tome (over 700 [...]

Obama's con

Great Blogger Headlines Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:30:17
Fisking Obama on his ridiculous attacks on Sarah Palin is like shooting fish in a barrel, but I wanted to draw your attention to two of my favorite responses. Ace has a long but effective title to his post: Extremely Confused Would-Be Commander-in-Chief Launches “Harshest Attack Yet” on Woman Who’s Not Technically Even His Opponent Ace links to [...]
Obama’s false bravado on change Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:54:00
Obama has clearly decided to run a campaign against President Bush. And he has also lost any sense of shame. He is constantly accusing his opponents of things that apply equally, or even more so, to himself. Take today: “Don’t be fooled,” a particularly punchy Obama told a crowd this morning at a town hall meeting [...]
Obama continues to smear opponents Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:02:40
Obama goes back to the “they will try to scare you” complaint: “I know that I’m not your typical presidential candidate,” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told executives and employees of the Schott glass company Friday afternoon, “and I just want to be honest with you. I know that.” “And I know that the temptation is to say, [...]

Remember me?

Filed Under Miscellany

I am the guy who used to post stuff here . . .

Circumstances have prevented that from happening recently. So if anyone is still reading I thought I would offer some explanations.

1) You might remember that I have a daughter now. You might be surprised to know that this takes up quite a bit of time.

2) Most of my energy and writing these days goes into Collected Miscellany - my book blog.

3) I recently had surgery on my ankle (torn tendon and membrane). This has put a drag on things as well (although technically since I am not playing sports I should have more free time to do other things).

4) The other writing I have done is sports related and end up at Sports-Central. See:
- Thoughts on the NFL Offseason:

The NFL offseason is a rough time for SC’s Kevin Holtsberry. To ease the pain, he offers some thoughts on Randy Moss, Plaxico Burress, and last year’s fine crop of wide receivers (with some Michigan Wolverine nostalgia thrown in for free).

- Tiger Time: Chasing History:

Is Tiger Woods back to his old ways? His win Sunday at Augusta could be read in many different ways, but a couple of things are clear according to SC’s Kevin Holtsberry: it makes for great golf and Tiger isn’t just battling his competitors, he’s battling history.

4) The weather is turning nice. We have had beautiful weather here in Ohio and it just doesn’t lend itself to sitting behind a computer.

I’ve got a post brewing about how my ideas and perspective on blogging have changed but haven’t had the chance to bring it to a coherent form (I know, since when has that stopped me). Everything is rather up in the air right now.

Anyway, that is the update for those few who care.

I think excuse #1 is more than adequate, and I doubt anyone would blame you for spending time on things other than blogging.

What Michael said. (And some very belated congrats on that!)
