Give me a break!
The idiom “give me a break” generally is used when you don’t
believe something that has happened or been said. We’ve all muttered the
expression a lot lately, especially around the 2016 Presidential race. I am going
to use it here more literally. I started this blog in late July 2010. This is
the 329th iteration. At an average of 750 words that’s nearly
250,000 words. To compare that’s about three average mystery novels (at 80,000 words
each), much less than the Bible (800,000 words) and nowhere near the IRS Code
(4 million words).
Originally Craig’s
Corner was a way to keep me focused during a long stint where I was without
work or income. With gainful employment it has become a welcome respite from
the day-to-day tasks. I tend to focus on issues that are interesting to me but
not necessarily a critical part of what I do day in and day out. My perspective
isn’t unique, but I do look at the word with a different lens. I’ve tried hard
not to be part of the echo chamber and been diligent about not being hyperbolic
(which is easy to do with writing about issues that I care about and have
inflamed passions all around).
There’s about a thousand views of various blogs each month
and over 90,000 since I started. I’m incredibly grateful (and somewhat awed) by
the support and interest – especially given that I’ve been woefully inadequate
at promoting and sharing my own work! It’s been quite satisfying to have
something that I did for myself be of interest and value to others. THANK YOU! I’ve had
some wonderful communications and engagements with people along the way, and
some not so great too. I particularly remember the woman who discovered the
blog a few years in and was reading them in order each morning with her coffee
and then wrote me an email each day with her thoughts.
I’m a pretty consistent guy so it’s probably no surprise
that I haven’t missed a Thursday posting since I started. It’s been a
good way to do what the blog was intended to: take a little time out of each
week for me to explore things that I might not otherwise. It’s largely been fun
and certainly not felt like work.
It's time to take a break. I’ll continue to opine away. It
may or may not be with the same regularity. It may or may not be in the same
format. I imagine sometimes I’d fire off a 200 word thought and other times it
may be 2,000. Stay tuned!
Hi Craig,
ReplyDeleteI am a graduate student new to the blogoshphere. I am required to keep an Educational Technologies blog for my class. I have found that blogging is a great way to express my thoughts and interests. I just read this entry and found it interesting and entertaining. My cousin turned me on to your site. I plan to follow it as an example of great blogs. Thank you for sharing.
