Absence
You may have noticed a decline in my blogging frequency of late. I've been enjoying a vacation from the internet -- no blogging, no web surfing, very little email. I have almost entirely eliminated my news media consumption and have...

My April Fools' Day prank
People who say religion is useless clearly haven't discovered that it makes an excellent butt for a joke. In case you didn't catch the drama in real time, yesterday the front page of this blog was taken over by my...

Talking Points Memo has a new skin
One of my daily reads (when I'm not avoiding the internet entirely, which I've been prone to do lately) is Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo. I've been reading it for years. In fact, my own weblog's simple and skinny design...

File and Forget: Tell me what's wrong with my long-standing psychotroll policy
I get emails. Some of these emails are the products of troubled minds -- minds that have evidently spent a significant amount of time thinking about how evil I am for doing the work against God that I do. Some...

Psychotrolls
Didn't notice that PZ commented on Kos's blog post earlier today. Also, via PZ, Bitch, Ph.D. Some further thoughts (to these) on the whole matter: 1. What the psychotrolls wrote to Kathy Sierra is deplorable, and it sucks that exposure...

Dog bites man
I can't remember when I got my first piece of hate mail with violent imagery in it. I don't remember being shocked by it, in any case. And I'm very, very used to it now. But if I had lived...

Atheism Week at Mickipedia
What I said earlier about videoblogging? It doesn't apply if you're a cute atheist with a nice voice who can speak off the cuff while still making a coherent point. But that probably went without saying....

The challenges of a temporal medium
I agree with this critique of video blogging. A major flaw in the vast majority of vlogs is that they take, say, 10 minutes of rambling to say the same thing that would probably take me 2 minutes to read...

Hi, Mom!
Kevin Drum admits he doesn't use profanity on his blog regularly because he knows his mother reads it. Same here. I wonder how many mothers are out there, unwittingly keeping the blogosphere from descending into a shitstorm of vulgarity. Sorry,...

What I was wrong about in March 2003
I just noticed. Today is Brian Flemming's Weblog's fourth anniversary. I've been leading you astray since March 1, 2003. Out of curiosity, I glanced down the list of entries for March 2003, and it's pretty much a record of my...

Google searches that bring you here
A visitor from Missouri arrived here this morning from a Google search for "brian flemming homosexual atheist." I don't know what it is that inspires people to believe that I'm gay. Is it because the L.A. Weekly once described me...

Arguments for a real LG15 fall short
Virginia Heffernan, agnostic but leaning toward a real LG15, makes some pro and con arguments in a recent post to her blog. Here are the pro arguments: + lonelygirl15’s emails to me are entirely guileless, true to a teen girl’s...

Lonelygirl15 jumps the shark
(UPDATE 8/30/06: The joke at the end of this entry fueled speculation that I am lonelygirl15. I have issued a denial.) Well, it was fun while it lasted. I kind of enjoyed believing that the saga of lonelygirl15 and danielbeast...

Amsterdam: The controversy
Kevin Roderick seems skeptical about the up-and-upness of the Amsterdam blogger vacation. For the record, before agreeing to accept the tickets, I asked Sebastian Paauw of Holland.com point blank, "What do you expect in return for these tickets?" The answer:...

Amsterdam
I'm headed to Amsterdam sometime next month. It's a complicated way for Holland.com to pay for some ad space, but I'm game. Who knew blogging would have such rewards? (And, just to get it out of the way, yes, I...

It's amazing what you can get done when you don't spend all day reading blogs and blogging about the blogs you read. I won't bore you by detailing all the things I did. Because, of course, I created websites for...
