I’m just getting my feet wet in the “blogosphere,” working on hitting my stride as a blogger, and also just getting to know what’s out there, so my list of frequented blogs is still short.

This blog has helped spur my interest and get me excited more than any. I also love the mystery (and insight) of The Metaphysical Elders. “Russell’s unpronounceable blog,” as Kaimi puts it, almost always intrigues me (even when I find myself disagreeing with him). I usually stop by Kaimi’s, too. I’ll certainly check out the blogs of other people who post here.

I halfway worry at times that I’m setting myself up for a misunderstanding when someone not familiar with the issues discussed reads it and interprets it as meanign something completely different. I also worry that the language is too “impenetrable” at times. Most of the continental philosophers I like have that reputation. The American philosopher I like, Peirce says a lot of the same things, but without the rhetorical play and demonstration of the issue. (See, for instance Derrida against Searle in _Limited Inc._ – great rhetorical demonstration of the issue, but not exactly clear unless you already know Derrida’s point) Peirce is very simple, clear and easy to read. I really ought to adopt his stance more.

Anyway, I keep meaning to finish up my literature page which will be like my philosophy one but less “impenetrable.”

BTW – I really enjoy _The Metaphysical Elders_ as well. I often leap randomly to some archived page just to get some ideas for thinking about while I walk my dog.

I recently started my own foray into blogging over at http://doctrinal.net and will be adding thoughts and mutterings that spring to the mind of this early morning seminary teacher (hi Gordon).

Although our commentary is generally more political in nature, we are both LDS and post items of interest to members from time to time.

As for those you have already mentioned, A Soft Answer is one of my favorites (I look forward to David getting back into the swing of things) and I really enjoy Ms. Morality’s site as well. For Times and Seasons lawyers, you’ll have to check out http://www.appellateblog.com (at least I think that is the site, it might be appellateblog.blogspot.com). Not an LDS site, but a good one.

Is it an ironic tribute to e.e. cummings? Or are you trying to conserve pixels?

How’s THAT for immature humor? ;)

With any luck we can bring this Bush economy to its knees!

I like the content and appreciate his links. I read mostly right wing conservative spewing and enjoy it! I do read about 40 different blogs, many of them authored by LDS people. Many are thought provoking. Some are not. I do like the banter here at times and seasons. Thank you for putting yourselves out there to be read!

i have always thought writing should be a person’s complete self-expression. when i was in high school i wanted to make up my own words when they did not exist to fit my purposes. the mean teachers said, ‘no.’ i said, ‘shakespeare did it.’ they didn’t care. supposedly i had to learn the rules before i could break them? i dunno, i wasn’t really listening.

but anyway, i take my anti-capitalization stance out of simplicity, and an interest in aesthetics. periods seem to do the job for dividing sentences, proper nouns are pretty easy to spot, and i think the consistency of the lower-case is much more attractive than the mix’n’match of normal punctuation.

now that i blog, i can write the way i want. no grades to worry about, no job on the line…only linkage–blessed linkage–to be won.

As a Good Burkean Conservative I try to capitalize nearly everything, out of respect for Tradition.

i don’t think you’d fit in either. the guys at all-encompassingly.com don’t have their panties in a twist…immaturity at it’s best.

That would be uncomfortable. But just to be on the safe side, my I recommend boxers? The danger of twistage is so much less.
