Program Note

If you are kind enough to read me from time to time, I'm all sorts of appreciative. That I'm not the most original, best educated, or thorough thinker should go without note, but I have the vanity of a self-deprecating nature, and would like to note it anyway. Which is kind of a segue towards a complaint with Blogger. I like blogrolls. Diverse, unwieldy lists of people who have more interesting things to write than I, and who do it with less bravado and fewer instances of cultivated ignorance. Unfortunately, Blogger no longer allows me to update or add to the roll to the right of this page. So, I've been adding new blogs to the "Read" column to the left, where I've traditionally placed blogs that Blogger refuses to recognize as self-updating. There are any number of writers, observers and thinkers there worth your while. Please give them a look.

Thanks,

Jack

  3. I, like BDR, am flattered to be included and enjoy your posts. Passionate thinkers often have trouble writing clearly, you seem to walk that tightrope nicely.

    (Yes, I've said this before--but just wanted to "rage against" the humility.)

  4. I've heard the blooger is sucking more. Certainly the word verification thinghy does (I don't use it, meself).

    But we can still post what we want for nothing (cold hard cash-wise), so there's that.

    And thanks for having me on your list, Jack.

    P.S. For those who don't know, you only have to type in 1 (one) of the 2 (two) word verification items to have your comment posted. Pick the easier of the two, says my lazy ass.

  6. I'm new to using Blogger and haven't yet figured out all its little kinks. Thanks so much for putting a link to my musings on there; I feel a little like LaLoosh making it to The Show.

  8. Also flattered to be included. I feel a bit like the precocious yet undisciplined child of the blogging community who my wiser and more experienced elders look upon with amusement and sometimes appreciation. I'll take it.

  10. Ditto what everyone else said, especially Anatole David and Troville.

    I'll always have a special place in my heart for you, Jack; you were the first person to blogroll me and I was already an avid reader.
