Oh I don't believe this . . .

Except I do.

Let me head any consternation (yes, consternation) off at the pass here and give the disclaimer that this is for beginning bloggers mainly using display (AdSense) ads. Of course by the time you get to the higher traffic numbers listed above, you will have figured out more types of revenue streams and will be doing better financially.

People who know me mostly for philanthropy sometimes think I'm not cranky and sarcastic ;)

Re: reading list: all time favorites — laura lawson visconti

Nate St. Pierre — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:27:55 -0000

Hmm, I've only read one of yours - The Screwtape Letters, since I have (I think) every thing Lewis has written.

Books I've returned to again and again:

Ender's Game series - Orson Scott Card
Harry Potter series - J.K. Rowling
Lord of the Rings series - J. R. R. Tolkien
Narnia series - C. S. Lewis
Sphere - Michael Crichton
Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton
The Stand - Stephen King
The Talisman - Stephen King
Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman
The Lost Continent - Bill Bryson
A Walk in the Woods - Bill

I'm sensing a pattern in escapism sci-fi and fantasy, with strong character development and morality discussion overtones. And also some U.S. small-town travelogues.

I am still and always fascinated by your tendency to group books by color instead of topic. (Because I know you actually read them, and they're not just decoration)

Good stuff, man! Excited to see where this goes!

Re: Why We Should Get Rid of Comments on Major News Sites

Nate St. Pierre — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:52:21 -0000

See, that's the thing, right? When I read an article online, I very often DO head to the bottom and scan the comments, because I really do want to see a good discussion with differing viewpoints and make sure I can see a good 360 on the issue. Unfortunately, I just never find that on the news sites.

I do sometimes find it on the smaller ones, but your echo chamber article is right - instances of simply agreeing with the author usually far outweigh anything else, and make the comments just as useless as the news ones (though much more pleasant, at least).

This is why we can't have nice things. ;)

Re: Why Intelligent, Caring People Don’t Vote

Nate St. Pierre — Wed, 06 Nov 2013 13:59:12 -0000

I did in high school, I think, and possibly in college, though I had a 19% attendance rate in college, so who really knows, I guess. Although I got a 3.5 GPA along with that rate, so I guess if it was tested, I knew it, right? Also says something about the quality of higher education even at a respected school. :-/

I'm interested in your line of questioning/reasoning. Do you have a conclusion you're going to share (I hope you do)?

Re: Why Intelligent, Caring People Don’t Vote

Nate St. Pierre — Wed, 06 Nov 2013 13:00:48 -0000

Quite the same, yes.
