Back in the world of blogs, I mean (the only online world of personal expression that really means much to me). I first wrote about him and his wonderful blogs back in 2009, and at that time I said “this sucker’s going on the sidebar”; it’s been on the sidebar ever since, despite a lamentable absence of updates, and I’m thrilled I’ll be able to follow him on his new WordPress versions. See his announcement here (where he explains how he resumed writing online at Quora and became disillusioned with that venue), and by all means add his blogs to your preferred RSS feed. Callooh! Callay! I chortle in my joy.
Addendum. He posted this on Facebook: Why hasn’t Australia developed more diverse regional accents?
Oh joy, oh rapture unforeseen,
The clouded sky is now serene,
The god of day — the orb of love,
Has hung his ensign high above,
The sky is all ablaze.
With wooing words and loving song
We’ll chase the lagging hours along,
And if we find(s) the maiden coy,
We’ll murmur forth decorous joy
In dreamy roundelays.
Of course, just who the maiden is, is a question.
Wonderful!
Well, that’s great news!
Excellent! And not one but two blogs! I’ll get out the foot pump and start inflating the dreamy roundelays post haste.
