Possumblog

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.

The incredible power of the Blogosphere as seen by Janis Gore

[...] Take for instance Megan McArdle's blog Live from the WTC. Ms. McArdle spends hours explaining the intricacies of economics viewed through the prism of her studies in the Chicago school of economics. She is widely known and appreciated for succinct thinking and writing on issues such as social security, welfare and markets.

What have I learned from her writings? From a throwaway log entry and a comment by Dan Hartung, I learned that Wal-mart sells a remote-controlled fan on a stand for $32.95. It can be controlled from up to 25 feet away. One now sits in my invalid Mother's room, so she has a little control over her environment.

So much for Milton Friedman. [...]

And what has the Blossom of Vidalia, Louisiana, learnt from Possumblog? Well, obviously it is so horrifying she dared not mention it, but I think it might have been that thing about not trying to use Sterno as a marital aid in ANY FASHION.
