Here are the interview
questions for H2 of the Smedley
Log.

  1. “Smedley” has the ring of a cartoon name. What are the origins of your
    blog’s name and did you consider any others?
  2. How did long have you been blogging? How and why did you start?
  3. What aspects of blogging do you most love? loathe?
  4. Describe your ideal presidential candidate. Think of him/her as a Mr. Potato Head
    doll. Each part is a policy or plank borrowed from a real public figure. For example,
    you might want Bill Clinton’s economic policies, Richard Nixon’s foreign policies,
    Gorbachev’s social policies, etc.
  5. Tell us about some aspect of your personality that drives you nuts and you’d love
    to change but just can’t seem to control.
  6. BONUS: Name a few blogs that you think deserve a lot more traffic than they currently
    get.

Those interested in this interview game might find Theomorph’s
answers worth a gander.

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*
