No blog updates until Thursday

  As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m in the process of setting up an alternate blog site, thanks to the growing threat of censorship and/or deletion on Big Tech blogging sites and facilities.  To that end, the contents of this blog (including all the archives) are scheduled to be backed up and copied over… Continue reading No blog updates until Thursday

Mobile theme has changed from dark to light. What do you prefer?

  Some weeks ago the theme on the mobile template for my blog changed from light to dark.  Numerous readers complained that made it more difficult to read text, particularly highlighted items. I think I figured out how to change it back to a light background.  If you’re using a mobile device, does that work… Continue reading Mobile theme has changed from dark to light. What do you prefer?

  I’m sure many of my readers have seen comments on other blogs about how difficult some are finding it to post new articles.  Some claim that Google is improving tweaking fiddling with its Blogger architecture, trying to improve it.  The Silicon Graybeard wrote a lengthy article about it recently, to which I refer you… Continue reading Technical difficulties with Blogger?

Heads up: This blog will be on vacation between Christmas and New Year

  I’ve tried hard to post to this blog every day, and mostly multiple times every day, since I started it on January 1, 2008.  I’ve mostly succeeded, apart from a couple of spells in hospital or while traveling.  However, that’s meant I’ve had less time to do other needful things, and less time to… Continue reading Heads up: This blog will be on vacation between Christmas and New Year

Are you interested in a “collected works” Bayou Renaissance Man book?

  Several readers, over the years, have suggested that I should put together a “greatest hits” sort of book based on this blog:  a collection of the articles that have attracted the greatest interest (based on the number of times each has been directly accessed), or which I think are the most important, or that… Continue reading Are you interested in a “collected works” Bayou Renaissance Man book?
