  Great Blogs are like Krispy Kreme Donuts   Uncategorized (3)

  Do you remember when you first heard about Krispy Kreme Donuts? It was probably a friend or acquaintance who told you about this delicious puck of flour and sugar. A donut so good that people would line up by the hundreds to buy them. Word of mouth advertising at it’s best.
  Great Blogs are like this! [...]

  Subtle Influencers Running Beneath the Radar   Uncategorized (0)

  Troy threw an invitation my way and then tossed the gauntlet - We all have our favorite blogs. Likely, we all have a dozen or two favorite blogs. Pick one and tell the rest of us why in 50 words. Given my own propensity for silence of late, I felt reluctant at first, but this [...]

  Change of Pace, Change of Direction   Uncategorized (0)

  While I am pleased with the response to this project and our hit count has increased each day since the onset, 100.bloggers hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. I attribute this to a complete lack of leadership on my part. “No guidelines, no themes, no constraints” is not a vision. “100 [...]

  Lens caps, viewfinders, Grand Canyons   Uncategorized (2)

  In rereading Walker Percy’s book of essays, The Message in the Bottle: How Queer Man Is, How Queer Language Is, and What One Has to Do with the Other, I’ve gotten stuck on his essay, “The Loss of the Creature.” Perhaps these twenty years after first reading it, I’m in a different place which is [...]

  Finding my voice in this sea of voices   Uncategorized (5)

  I admit that I’m having a difficult time figuring out what to post about here. I look around and see posts on being invited here or on blogging, and I just can’t make myself blog on either of those topics. Similarly, I don’t know that my favorite blogging topics would fit in well here, where [...]

  I imagine the blogosphere as a virtual time capsule   Uncategorized (2)

  “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island…and best of all, you can enjoy these riches everyday of your life.” - Walt Disney
  I imagine the blogosphere as a virtual time capsule. Better than any collection of books, it will tell the story of our times.
  “Keep focused on your [...]

  Rain   Uncategorized (1)

  Funny thing about rain: so often, we don’t want it to happen, and many curse it when it comes down. Yet, we all need the rain, to grow, to live, to nourish our land, to nourish our souls, to recover, rejuvenate, to reinvent and recover.
  I find rain in my life all the time, sometimes [...]

  Doing This For 5 Years   Uncategorized (3)

  Since we’re a bunch of bloggers, sitting around writing about blogging on this blog, let’s salute someone who’s been at it for five years: Gerard Vlemmings, one of our fellow participants in the 100 Bloggers Project, has been doing the excellent Presufer blog for half a decade, as of yesterday, so let’s all head [...]

  Blogging as a voice in the world?   Uncategorized (2)

  I’ve been thinking a lot about why blogging has become so popular. My personal opinion is that the world has become so stressful that people want to experience it the way they experience a roller coaster. They don’t mind being afraid — there’s a thrill there — they just want to do it [...]

  Dig deep   Uncategorized (1)

  Working on self-knowledge is not easy. Often, the harder it is, the more important it is. We dig up things we would rather not see. We resist the pain. We have a choice between a lifetime dull ache and a brief acute confrontation.
  We settle for the familar and confuse boredom with depression.
  We all have unexpected [...]

  Too much stuff!   Uncategorized (2)

  From Patricia Digh at 37 Days, I read:

  It is Stuff that keeps us from participating fully, our mobility and sense of fun and playfulness and ability to be directly engaged muted by our concern for objects, our holding onto.

  So let’s dump some stuff aside as we tackle these 100 posts in 100 days.
  Troy may [...]

  Dynamic!   Uncategorized (2)

  Is this the most dynamic idea on the blogsphere? It must be close to that.
  This is a resonant project, an idea we don´t know how it will develop, a tale with unwritten chapters.
  I think this is close from recent experiences in virtual art . It could easily classified as a blogformance, a performance on the [...]
