Thanks for the emails.
I’m here.
We’ve had amazing weather the past week, and I’ve walked away from the computer, gone down to the lake and watched wildlife move around.
I’m tired. Last week I learned something online I haven’t done before.
Most errors are human, not technical, and I was once again reminded how human I am. I [...]
I read this twice.
At first I didn’t understand why. I have friends that have made it pretty clear they don’t want to talk about God. Their reasons are as unique as they are, and this is a rare piece I would suggest they read, without feeling self-shame or embarrassment for them.
I think the clarity and [...]
There is no spell check tool here at BDBO.
I’ve never asked designer and technican Rachel Cunliffe to put one in.
And I probably won’t be asking anytime soon.
Why? or is that why not?
Because I’m human and typos and goofs are part of who I am.

For the past month you may have seen a post or two here or there about a new website going up.
As I write this, it’s just past midnight in Spain and Robert Duncan promised himself he’d get a good night’s sleep. For weeks Duncan has reached out to bloggers, journalists and sector professionals around the [...]

Update: The media has good timelines on adscam, now Political Staples gives us a timeline on how blogs and media played their role this past week.
I have probably broken the partial ban laid out by Judge Gomery by linking to the [...]
Okay er, are Blogger comments getting harder to log into or is just me?
I went over to Jordon Cooper’s blog, wanted to say something (often do) and was met with a menu in the comment section.
Blogger, other, anonymous.
Don’t. push. it.
Then log in, password, and publish?
I. don’t. think. so.
If readers are half as cantankerous (stubbornly obstructive [...]
Would one of my Roman Catholic friends tell me what the book of gospels is?
The media is calling the red book laid on the top of Pope John II’s coffin, the book of gospels.
Calling the pope’s funeral a ’spiritual woodstock’ doesn’t make sense either.
