Welcome to my blog, where I post infrequently about books I'm reading, cool things I've found on the internet, poems I've liked, and other things that catch my attention.
So I clicked a Making Light link to read Rehab Nation, about Nixon and politics and power, and came across the unfamiliar word "comity" - which I want to pronounse "KOH-mih-tee", but while that's legal, the preferred pronunciation is apparently "KAH-mih-tee" - and it means
"social harmony"
according to Merriam-Webster.
... but look at that etymology:
"akin to Sanskrit smayate he smiles".
Wow.
A year ago, I was explaining blogs to a friend, and I wrote an example blog entry to show the sort of thing I would write, if I had a blog.
Herewith, then, that blog entry, from February 2006:
I'm posting this so I can claim this blog on Technorati.
I actually have no idea what this entails.
However, this should link to my brand new Technorati Profile.
As they say in programming books, "Hello, world."
"Home is where one starts from."
-- T.S. Eliot
I've been wanting a place for my thoughts, reactions to the books I'm reading, and especially a place to record all those things that delight me.
Now, I have a place.
