Weblogs:

Two years

    By Jack Grant

Random Fate has existed in one incarnation or another (Blogspot and a couple of hosting services) for two years. I started it a couple of days before the Space Shuttle Columbia broke up over northern Texas. I heard about it on the radio while I was experimenting with the Blogspot interface to upload images.

Two years, and something in the neighborhood of 1500 posts (not counting the Blogspot posts, which are lost now due to some kind of server thing, although Blogspot claims the weblog still exists in their system).

I've lived in France for 9 of those 24 months.

It's been an interesting two years.

Wow. Two years is a log time in the blog world.

Two years and hopefully (selfishly), many more to come.

I would not have Feisty but for you.

Thank you for everything.

I'd say that's 14 years in blog time.

Congratulations hon! ; )

We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones


Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
