Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

NEWSFLASH!

In a break from my normally nonexistent weekend blogging, I felt that I must announce the appearance of the eagerly awaited Tuscaloosa News story by Stephanie Hoops about blogging! (With quotes from various Cotton State luminaries such as Mac Thomason, Ray Mikell, and yours truly!)

An excerpt:
[...] The media giants sniff that blogs, revolutionary as they may appear, pose no threat to them. People want news from sources they can trust, not from some ranting self-obsessed blogger.

But blogging isn’t just about the news and journalism at its finest. For a lot of people, it’s just plain fun.

"Honestly," Thomason said, "if you can use a mouse and type, you can do this. I’d encourage anybody who feels they have something to say — and it doesn’t have to be about politics; it could be about culture, sports, anything — to do it."

"There will be somebody out there who won’t like it, but there will be people who pay attention." [...]
Hmm. Media giants say "ranting self-obsessed blogger" like it's a bad thing. ANYWAY, just a word of relieved thankfulness to Miss Stephanie, who decided not to take the opportunity to quote all of my inept blather. (Most of which can be read in this post from June 24.)

And an encouragement to hurry up and get her blog restarted!

NOW, back to the weekend.
