Jon’s blog

Q: Are there any rules here?
A: Only one, and it’s more so a suggestion: if you don’t like my cooking, don’t come over for dinner.

Q: Does that mean you don’t moderate comments or discussion?
A: True. I only cut spam. If trolling ever comes up I suppose I’ll disemvowel a la Boing Boing.

Q: Why the broad range of topics with no unifying theme?
A: In part because my interests are broad and I enjoy discussing them all. In part because I’m fickle.

Q: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
A: No. Also, my opinions may conflict with yours and might even contradict themselves. I make no claim to authority. I work against hypocrisy but I am still as prone to it as anyone. C’est la vie.

Q: You only post on Mondays. Why is that?
A: I tend to get carried away and then burn out on new projects. To give this blog project some regularity, longevity, and a fighting chance, I’ve set a timer to remind me to post once a week. Once I get the hang of it I may post more often and on a less regimented schedule. Or not.

Q: I have a subject or a question I think you should write about. Or, I’ve written a post on my own blog I think you should link to. Or, I’ve produced a book / album / film and I’d like to request a review. How do I submit it to you?
A: Email me: jon [dot] copyright [at] gmail.

Q: Your blog or some page in the rest of your site looks messed-up in my browser. Is that intentional?
A: Probably not. If you spot an error or an iffy bit of coding or rendering by your browser, please email me with the details and a screenshot: jon [dot] copyright [at] gmail. As a coder I’m entirely self-taught and there are still scads of gaps in my knowledge and ability. I appreciate the heads-up.
