Chris McLeod (via @[email protected]) has the right idea, but like many tech-savvy folks underestimates how daunting it can be to set up WordPress on a server. Not to mention even small costs.

Of the free blogging platforms, I think good old Blogger is the value proposition. Warts and all.

Blog without technical knowledge for free.

But yes, blog your own stuff, link to it on social!

I got schooled good about the dismal state of apple culture in, of all places, England.

Me, before: There will be farmers markets laden with apples dating from the time of King Arthur!

Me, after: Holy crap, do the British even eat apples any more?

A recent trip left me scratching my head. Where were the apples?
