I'm over at JuntoGunto, Reuben F. Kolb in the aldotcom swamp, ...

This old Blogger platform still seems awesome. I spent many an hour using it back in the day. I just decided to do a post as I'm about to drop a comment on an old-school blog, one from someone who has surely done the work and earned respect. Thus, I wanted to make sure if anyone visited my old remnants they knew who I was. Please don't judge me too harshly from the old blogroll and such. To jump back in and clean my own house up was just something I just never got around to doing.

I"m still not back to blogging. I'm on the Twitter with the micro-blogging nature of the venue something the thread feature makes even more attractive. My website is something which I should also do a much better job of updating yet it's there. The idea of using it in the neoliberal self-promotion sense gives me some shivers. To go out and get a 'real job' in some areas I'm interested in might require some 'seriousing up' of the site. Work on the houses and the final dissertation stretch while sometimes doing adjunct work also keeps me busy. Some of my learning/thinking also keeps me in check, or at least in a hesitant place, about how/what to write. The few posts I've written there remind me of just how hard the work of a cobbling together even a marginal blog post can be.

Lastly, I sometimes wade into comment thread swamps on the Alabama Media Group papers as 'Reuben F. Kolb' as he's a historical figure of note in my benighted state.
