Yet with strange aeons…

For the last several years, I’ve blogged off-and-on at my dedicated game blog, The Lost Level. That’s been fun; but now I’ve also become interested in reviving this, my personal blog, again after several years of dormancy. To keep things nicely consolidated, I’ve merged the contents of my game blog with this one, and plan [...]

Break time

Things have been quiet here lately… too quiet, perhaps. After some reflection I’ve decided that a bit of change may do me some good–so I’ll be taking a little break from this blog for a while. I am confident I shall return before too long, but I’d like to take some time off to focus [...]

Playing with feeds

I’ve been playing around with my blog feeds–specifically, I’m toying with using FeedBurner in conjunction with my blog. To that end, I’ve got a new feed you can use for my blog which incorporates my flickr photos and del.icio.us links as well as normal blog posts. If you want to try it out, plug this [...]

Del.icio.us feed

For those of you who just can’t get enough of my blog, I’ve added my del.icio.us feed to the sidebar. If you’re not familiar with del.icio.us, it’s a nifty little tool that lets you store and share your web bookmarks online. So we’ll see how that goes.

In absentia

Good heavens, it’s been quiet around here lately. Most of my blogging energy has been focused here lately. At some point, balance will be restored and I will get back into the swing of talking about such fascinating and important topics as roleplaying games, movies I like, and my many virtues. I find myself missing [...]

Scorched earth

A quick note of apology: while deleting a large chunk of comment spam (several hundred) yesterday, I unintentionally deleted a handful of legitimate comments posted recently here and at Michele’s blog. In my zeal to destroy the offending spam comments, I got a bit careless. So if you’ve noticed that a comment of yours has [...]

Silence is golden

Sorry for the long break from posting there. I know you’re hurt and disappointed, but it could’ve been worse: I could’ve been here posting about Terri Schiavo, the Pope, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears’ pregnancy, the Iraq War, what I had for dinner last night (ham and potatoes, quite delicious!), and/or the latest efforts by [your [...]

Chilling effect

I’ve removed a blog post from last week after it sparked some heated discussion. I don’t normally like to delete blog posts or comments–I prefer that people’s statements stand, for better or worse–but in this case I felt prompted to do so. I’m not criticizing any of the commentors, and in fact a number of [...]

Information overload

Warning: rambling, poorly-organized thoughts follow. I enjoy discussion and speculation about the blogosphere’s influence on the Old Media, and so I read with interest this exchange between Jeff Jarvis and the NYT’s Bill Keller (via Andrew Sullivan). Searching about the web will reveal a great many other conversations taking place about the same general topic. [...]

The comments strike back

Comments are back! And don’t worry–I’ve just made a deal that will keep the blog spammers out of here forever.
