I must come out of the closet: I am a spelling and grammar Taliban.
Maybe that’s a bit too dramatic. I’m not perfect and I do take shortcuts along the way.
Ultimately my goal is to communicate ideas—and each as clear as possible.
I’ve ceded some strict middle- and high-school rules. I’m not as insistent [...]
Next up in my celebration of 2,000 posts, come the favorites of Sarah and Cliff, the authors of the Regensblog. They’re great people and its been great meeting them in Bremen, Berlin, Munich, Weimar, and Regensburg.

The new TQE | Archives section of the site includes stuff that used to be available [...]

Results in @KLM, @GoodPilotNews, and @visitholland following you.
I realize most of you are probably happy that I haven’t had a “meta” blog entry in awhile.
Alas, it’s time for another one because I’ve done a few things today that might otherwise escape your attention:
Sound Choices: I’ve posted a listing of all the podcasts and vidcasts that I am currently subscribed to [...]
After upgrading to WordPress Friday, I got sick.
