Well, I’m afraid that my writing time has been at a bit of a minimum the last week or two. In addition, I’ve had no time as yet to develop the new WordPress theme for Flashes of Speculation in preparation for its re-launch. This is due, in part, to the fact that I’m back to [...]

It’s only taken me four years to do it, but this is finally the 1000th post on this blog. Admittedly, my first two years of blogging were sporadic at best. There was something about the Xanga community that just never really inspired me to write much. I think it mostly had to do with the [...]
Blog Content Accessibility
I have something against blogs that make it difficult to read them remotely. I’m a big fan of RSS feeds. They’re the things that allow busy folks to keep track of the latest and greatest happenings on the Web with much greater ease. So there are a couple of things that kind of bug me:
Blogs that [...]
Change or No?
So, should I change the title of this site from “Writer’s Blog” to something else? If so, what would be some recommendations? Weigh in here…
Chess Blog
For interested chess geeks, I’ve started up a chess blog. My primary goal right now is simply to share games I’ve played with friends and give me an opportunity to review these games and analyze them. So, if anyone wants to follow along, maybe we can teach each other some things about the game.

Weblog Tools Collection » Things You Should Avoid Blogging About
There’s an excellent essay at the link above about things that bloggers should not blog about. I’ve erred into a couple of those things myself, but have since made a concerted effort to avoid doing so again. My policy for blogging has always been to share the [...]
Penitent Tangential
I’ve started up a new Halo blog, one that will hopefully be a bit more successful than the last couple I’ve run. Penitent Tangential focuses primarily on Halo-based movie reviews but will also feature the occasional tips and strategy essay. It’s possible that there will be other features in the future, as well, but for [...]
Xanga Open Comments
By Jim on September 17, 2007
I’ve complained about Xanga in the past about a variety of pet peeves with that blogging community, things both pertaining to many of the members of that community and about the way the blogging platform itself is built. Well, in light of my previous entry, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Xanga is now [...]
