I’m adding up the numbers from my three blogs, and it turns out that between them I wrote approximately 101,192 words among 511 blog entries for 2006. Wow… the previous year the numbers were 78,181 and 466. Another way to look at it: that’s roughly the equivalent of a novel a year.

Where is the time going?
Time has been passing too quickly lately. Seriously. Where has it been going? I keep finding myself surprised to discover that something I thought happened just last year was really three years ago, for instance, or that I’ve been at my current job for four years, and it doesn’t seem nearly that long. Part of… Continue reading Where is the time going?
My favorite posts of 2006
I did this same thing last January, and thought it was good fodder for looking back on 2006: my favorite posts over the last year. I noticed that I wrote less here as I stepped up my writing on The Brew Site and Hack Bend, and I wonder: if quantity went down, did quality go… Continue reading My favorite posts of 2006

What’s shakin’?
Yes, I’m aware I haven’t posted much here on chuggnutt.com lately. I’ve been focusing most of my writing energy on The Brew Site and Hack Bend recently, since I keep thinking of topical things for those blogs and I really don’t want to become a caricature of myself with “Lost” rants. Aside from that, here’s… Continue reading What’s shakin’?
Protolariat
This entry stems entirely from a gross misspelling/mishandling of the word “proletariat” on my part. “Protolariat” is not a real word; if you search for it nothing comes up. What better opportunity to create a new word and be the only search engine result for it? 🙂 So, what should the definition be? I’m thinking… Continue reading Protolariat
Akismet
I’ve started using the spam-killing service Akismet to handle comment spam on my three blogs. That, and instituted a basic moderation system for comments. I can’t say as I’ve been dealing with as much comment spam as some people, but I just got sick and tired of dealing with the problem myself and decided to… Continue reading Akismet
Diversion
We got the minivan back from the shop this week, and today I had the distinct pleasure of attending a diversion class for the ticket I had received (you all remember my accident, right?) The diversion class was the kind with the driving simulator—whenever you’re involved in an accident this is the type of class… Continue reading Diversion
In the air
I don’t know what it is, exactly, but these last few days really seem like summer is done and autumn is just starting. No, it’s not the colder weather we had today… perhaps it’s like Jennifer’s husband said, about the quality of light changing so that it looks like fall. Actually I think that’s a… Continue reading In the air
Well, that’s a sucky way to start the day…
So on my way to work this morning, I got into a car accident. One of three cars involved! Westbound on Franklin, just past the light on Third, and the first car stopped for the construction they’ve got going on, and the car in front of me rear-ended the first car, stopping up short, and… Continue reading Well, that’s a sucky way to start the day…
