Wisdom Extract

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 20, 2005 ⋅ 2 comments

My wisdom teeth were removed this morning at 10 or so, and I’m pretty much over being gassed. My mouth is still pretty swollen, and some pain is beginning to set in, so blogging will be light today and possibly tomorrow as well.

Revisiting Old Vile Claims Once More

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 18, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve stopped reading Instapundit on a daily basis, instead hitting his site about once a week to get the latest on whatever blogging fad he’s linking at the moment. So I missed a post from last Thursday in which he addresses the leftist fallacy that freeing Iraq and making way for democracy in that country [...]

Hangin’ Up the Spurs

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 1, 2005 ⋅ 4 comments

I’ve decided to hang up the spurs for a while. Maybe forever. Blogging is a fun hobby, but it’s got its downsides. Like waiting day after day for links and hoping to see new comments, writing constantly and only seeing a few people get pleasure out of your work. It’s been a good run. Two [...]

Slacker Makes Good

Greg Piper is guest-blogging again at TMV. A salaried job, now semi-regular guest-blogging for an Important Pundit. He’s making me insane with envy.

Patron Saints

By jelewis8 ⋅ February 2, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I just noticed my site meter just hit 6,000. Now, that only measures from January 2 on (I’ve been blogging since February 2003). 6,000 in one month nearly matches my August 2004 high of 6,515 visitors, which was helped by hosting both a Christian Carnival and the 100th Carnival of the Vanities. So, it seems [...]

Blogging In the Time of Cholera

By jelewis8 ⋅ February 2, 2005 ⋅ One comment

Please excuse the lack of original posting of late. In my spare time I’ve been pumping out a feature script which I started Sunday afternoon and which I am hoping to finish by Thursday evening. That’s 90-120 pages in five days, which for me is unprecedented. It’s more important for me to write uninterupted than [...]

“I was in a cheerleading squad…”

Greg Piper is guest blogging for the next three days at Joe Gandelman’s The Moderate Voice, the (un)lucky stiff. He’ll be posting a few items at The Smoking Room, but most of his stuff will be over at TMV. Go give him some lovin’. And Greg, don’t you know that’s going to cut down on [...]

Knowing Thyself

By jelewis8 ⋅ January 20, 2005 ⋅ 3 comments

Inspired by a post by Ambra Nykol, Greg Piper writes of the uncertainty he’s faced, both in the past and currently, of how to be focused in his writing, and perhaps more importantly, how to define the genre in which he sees himself and his work. The questions he (essentially) poses to himself are ones [...]

News Blogging Revolution

By jelewis8 ⋅ December 21, 2004 ⋅ Post a comment

Joe Gandelman has the definitive round-up of links regarding the blogging revolution underway in news media. It’s a compendium of intriguing analysis of the ways in which blogging has caught news media off guard. Bloggers, however, are hardly surprised. Dan Gillmor writes: “this isn’t exactly rocket science. Anyone can do it. Almost every newspaper should [...]
