I also want to apologize because this blog's taking a backseat won't be rectified for at least a couple more weeks — both because of this new job and because of the holidays. Right now I'm very pleased, lucky and thankful to have family visiting, and I will have both friends and family dropping into town every weekend until the New Year. Hopefully they'll do so on a lucky rotation that allows me to crank out copy for work without making them sit in the guest room for an hour while I "finish something."
In the meantime, I'll do my best to crank out new content whenever possible. As this is the day when we theatrically stand at the dinner table and thank other people at the dinner table in full view of still other people at the dinner table, I would be remiss in not giving gratuitous public thanks for those of you still reading this junk even months later. I do appreciate it, even if I don't know who you are. (Especially one person. I apparently have a faithful reader from Sydney, Australia, and I literally have no idea who this is. Post a comment; out yourself.) I know some of you check back daily to see if there's new content, and I always feel like I'm letting you down when there isn't any.
But don't worry. There are currently eleven half-written book reviews rotting away in my head, to say nothing of campaign postmortem posts, etc. We'll get those suckers printed sooner or later.
Happy Thanksgiving!
And to those who do not celebrate Thanksgiving, greetings from America!

Well, what can I say? Chetan Babuta makes good recommendations. Plus, this blog is far more entertaining than Australian TV.
Funny, though - I don't live in Sydney, I'm 150 km to the north. Perhaps my Frankenstein Brain-Thoughts Broadcasting Radio, or whatever sorcery these geolocator programs use, is on the fritz?
Nah, in all likelihood, your ISP's central location is within whatever zoning constitutes Sydney. You could either be using a locally named ISP that is in fact the Sydney ISP, a local ISP that runs off the Sydney ISP's network, or you could be using the same Sydney company and getting your access routed to servers in Sydney. It's not uncommon. People who used Mindspring in Florida were all listed as Ocala or Miami residents. Pennsylvania Verizon users are almost all labeled as being from Pittsburgh. If you live anywhere near Washington DC and use Verizon, you're reported as being from Reston, VA.
I was just curious if you were someone I've corresponded with — I've traded emails with some Aussies — or a board member I might recognize. That's all.
Sorry for the late reply.
