Althouse: "I want this to be a leisurely, contemplative blog, not a 'Here's what's going on this second' blog. "

"I want this to be a leisurely, contemplative blog, not a 'Here's what's going on this second' blog. "

So said Jac, one year ago, repeated today as he celebrates his first bloggiversary. Congratulations! Nice list of your 10 favorite posts.

I spelled it differently: "blogiversary." Your spelling suggests an aversion to something.; 4/12/09, 2:58 PM

Ooh... thanks for pointing that out, JAC.

Kev said...: Today is my blogiversary too--number six! And thanks to Althouse for bringing up the subject, as I might have forgotten, what with Easter and all.

Speaking of that, Happy Easter to the entire virtual coffeehouse!; 4/12/09, 5:44 PM
Penny said...: Congratulations to both John and Kev. Blogs are quite a commitment, so I am happy to share in your personal milestones.

I am also laughing at the quotes Maxine left. How DID you come to change your mind, John? You too, Kevin? What moved you to blog?; 4/12/09, 7:29 PM

Kev said...: You too, Kevin? What moved you to blog?

As I said in my post today, it was a chance to do several things at once: 1) express myself in a different manner than I, a musician, do through my instrument; 2) revive my brief-but-enjoyable foray into journalism in college (I got to come in once a week and write about pretty much whatever I wanted to, though it usually had something to do with the arts); 3) take up a hobby that a lot of my friends at the time had started to do (a.k.a. "all the cool kids are doing it," I guess, LOL).

Thanks for the kind words, Penny!; 4/12/09, 11:55 PM
