A month of blogging
So a month ago I committed to a regime of original content daily. Which I’ve kept up, even if it’s been admittedly lame a couple of days. And I announced a contest, copies of The Meme Machine to a lottery winner and a commenter during the month. These are, respectively, Marissa and Jimcat .
And I kind of like the idea of a monthly book giveaway, so the writer of my favorite comment between now and the end of May gets a copy of one of my favorite books, John Crowley’s Engine Summer, mailed anywhere in the U.S. or maybe other places if the book rate thither is still reasonably cheap, he says specifically.
Blogging daily has been a challenge, and one I’m cheerfully giving up a commitment to, though I am vain enough to have some attachment to the increased hit rate I’ve had this past month. We’ll see how it goes.
More headlines in the right-hand column! Although the Top 20 Kittens has lost me some time since you posted it...

Hey, thanks! I'd forgotten about the contest. I guess being a compulsive babbler sometimes has unexpected advantages.

That would be the message here, considering the results!

For what it's worth, I'm already missing the daily updates.

I love that idea: A subjective contest with no known rules, and only one person decides who is the winner.
Just like the elections.

Ooo! A letter from Doctor Boots!
Now all I have to do is learn to write sparkling comment-prose.
I already have a copy of The Meme Machine, too; now I'm curious to see what your next pick will be.
