So what have I been writing about during the past month.
June was the month when I decided to return to regular blogging. So far I’ve posted an item every day since the 15th. I wrote about habits and writing to explain some of my reasons for updating on a regular basis. I talked a bit about plans for the summer both physical and mental.
I’ve started reading more political blogs again. Almost all of them on the liberal end of things. There was a time, two or three years ago, when I tried to be more ecumenical about reading conservative political blogs. But things have gotten so bad that it’s not even worth it. I’m letting others trudge the depths of the wingnutospher.
This months SFF reading group prompted me to think about the qualities of good fiction. MaryAnn Johnson gave me some hope for the future and has also been writing well about generational issues.
Knowledge management continues to be one of my abiding interests, but I wasn’t able to generate any of my own content this month, just some pointers to what I’d been reading on km. Another theme in my recent thinking has been learning communities and the sociology of education.
The arts and design prompted a comment on inspirational films in response to the recent AFI 100 cheers list and a post about a new sound on the bus.
A psychological study about loneliness prompted some thoughts on socializing on- and off-line.
My enthusiasm for weather led to some praise for summer thunderstorms.
Most recently I wrote up some reactions to the rather silly political and economic bromide that education will save us from outsourcing.
