That's one of the reasons why I'm personally not crazy about blogs (even though I write several). Blogs are just a crappy way to organize information and articles. Reverse order by date? Huh? They make it too hard to find what you're looking for -- even Part 1 of the piece you're reading. So I question how long the current format of blogs will last. Maybe someone will create a Wordpress plugin or theme that's organized around pages (articles) rather than the date of each post. (Or are there some I'm not aware of? Anybody?) Oh yeah, almost forgot. Awesome post, Kevin. Great job! @John in reply to turgid

I'm been a curmudgeon -- when it's been appropriate -- since I was a brash young man freshly encountering the hypocrisy and idiocy of the world. And you haven't got a clue what "looseness" is if you believe watching TV can somehow facilitate it. Okay, enough of this boring sub-thread. Let's all get busy preparing for 2010...

And know that I have been slapped around (metaphorically) by mentors and teachers my entire career. You have the right attitude -- it's all about the learning. Remember how pissed the student was in The Karate Kid. I was just like him, frustrated and impatient. It's good to keep the larger goal in mind: Discover new stuff, and keep moving toward your goals. If there's a little moment of readjustment forced on you here and there, so be it. Good luck. Thanks for the note.

John, please take another vacation. Watch a few old episodes of Golden Girls if you have to. (My mom used to love that show.) Maybe that will help loosen you up.

Yes, we're alive and well. I've taken a vacation, and a turkey break, like all good folks should do regularly. I'll be posting again soon. There is no schedule here. Get on the mailing list, and you'll be notified when new posts go up. And instead of bitching about not seeing a new post in a 2 week period, why don't you get off your butt and check out the FIVE FREAKING YEARS worth of archives here. Jesus. This new generation -- their constant need for rapidly changing stimulation is insane. Here's a suggestion: Stop skimming over the good stuff... and even take the time to read it over and over, several times. You do NOT retain info or ideas when you blow through life at top speed. You just become a grazing animal, with shallow knowledge and un-honed skills. That advice, btw, is worth a fortune if you take it. Slow down, learn how to absorb and retain, and implement. Keys to the kingdom. Hey, thanks for chiming in, Turgid.
