Today is my third official blogaversary. I say official because I actually started
blogging some time in November 2001, but my blogging software ate my entries. I
salvaged most of them and posted them on April
17, 2002. If you’d like to get an approximate idea idea of what my blog looked
like back (when it was called Scribbled Lines), check out this
Internet Archive snapshot.
I recently realized that my blogroll was getting unreasonably large. Its contents
run gamut from mere reciprocal links to my favorites. Rather than prune that list,
I decided to more prominently feature those blogs that I read on a regular basis.
If I left your blog out, please don’t be offended. I probably read it, just not
as frequently. I have hundreds of blogs in my RSS reader. The blogs listed under
“my regular reads” in the right-hand column are those which I read on
a daily or nearly-daily basis, with or without RSS.
For the lazy folks among my readers, here is the list, so you don’t have to go looking
for it elsewhere. 😉
A
while back, I posted some of the more interesting search phrases that have brought
people here. I’ve decided to maket this a semi-regular feature. Here’s the latest
bunch.

I have a silly question for my readers. How many of you have been reading my stuff
long enough to remember the days when I called this blog “Scribbled
Lines“?
Part of me hates when bloggers apologize for lapses in blogging. It’s sort of perverse
that people have to excuse themselves for answering the demands of Real Life™.
The rest of me realizes that readers are what make blogging worth while. That part
part of me thanks you all and apologizes for being incommunicato. Research has been
keeping me busy, which is a good thing. I’ve also been taking a bit of break from
the stresses of blogging. How is blogging stressful? Well, it ain’t easy reading
countless feeds in search of a story worth telling (or retelling). Anyhow, I’m sure
I’ll be back to my usual ways soon (One reader referred to me as a “machine”
due to my posting rate). In the meantime, please take a look at some of the great
blogs in my blogroll (It’s part of the right column.).
P.S. Google doesn’t seem to hate me anymore, but it apparently doesn’t love me enough
to consistently rank my domain as the top hit for “Ales Rarus”. *sigh*
