A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

New year, new beginning

Well, after more than two and a half years, I think it’s time to put this humble blog to bed. I didn’t know exactly what direction I wanted to take this blog when I started it in July of 2004, but looking over the archives there definitely seems to have been a trend away from more political blogging toward focusing on faith-related topics. The whole thing has become a bit unwieldy, so I think it’s time for a clean break, to scrape off some of the barnacles as it were. Plus, I think it’s time to drop the corny pseudo-Latin name.

But fear not, loyal readers! You can continue to get the same incisive blogging you know and love at my new site here. Ideally I’d like to focus less on day to day political and blogospheric tit for tat, and to that end my first foray at the new place will be blogging through St. Augustine’s Enchiridion.

    Blessings to you in your new incarnation. Your new home is now in my Google Reader . . . Looking forward to it.

  2. Hah, when I first saw the new URL, I saw “thinking greed” and had to do a double take!

    Cool, see ya over there.

    Peace,

    Eric

    Looking forward to the new blog, Lee. Does this mean you’re going to get pseudonomynous blogging entirely? Either way, I’ll be reading.

  5. If I were a sourpuss, I’d joke that your former blog’s name was Christ-centered, and your new blog’s name is man-centered, so what does that say about what’s going on?

    (The actual facts of the matter never get in the way of a sourpuss’ observations.)

  6. Good thing you’re not a sourpuss, then. 😉

  7. As one who has enjoyed reading your “day to day political and blogospheric tit for tat”, I will certainly miss verbum ipsum. That said, I’m looking forward to your new blogging venture. Best wishes.

    Maybe you need two blogs.
