Meta Blog Post

During the year thus far, I'm afraid I have not been very diligent in keeping up my regular blogging. Nevertheless, I can tell the difference between a post I made in the beginning of the semester and posts I began making throughout the semester but were instead saved as unfinished drafts that I never got around to perfecting, and posts that I have deemed perfect enough and published at the end of the semester. I have noticed that I am now drawing up assertions based off of evidence, instead of previously searching for evidence to back up my assertions. A subtle difference, but a very telling one. I certainly hope that in the upcoming semester, I will be able to stay on top of things and keep my blogging to the high level of standards that I require it to be.

Of the all the recent blog posts, the one I feel most proud of was this one. I explain what happened in clear terminology, provide plenty of evidence for everything I say, and refer to a previous post. I also engage my readers with some questions of opinion that are by no means easy to answer.

  1. David,

    Two thoughtful posts about Tucson, but as you self-diagnose: the problem is the paucity of posts (3 for the semester).
