Yes, I know I haven’t been around in a while. Life got really busy and the blog took a back seat. I am also trying to figure out what to do with it as far as focus.
In the meantime, I do want to mention that my friend over at Intellectual Christian Geek has a new blog, Intellectual Christian Academic. So far it’s an interesting read for those of us in academia. I disagree with a lot of what he says, but that’s the nice thing about it. We can disagree and still be friends. I don’t think there will be much political stuff on this blog, even though he is a political science professor. (I’m sort of hoping he starts an “Intellectual Christian Politics”.)
He tends to write a lot about the challenges facing universities. For example, he writes about how academic structure disincentivizes good teaching and why college costs so much. It is interesting reading and I think most of it is accessible to a broader audience (you don’t need a Ph.D. to understand what he’s talking about).
So, as I figure out what I’m doing with this blog, I encourage you to scrounge about to see what others are doing. Since Intellectual Christian Geek was kind enough to plug me when I first got started, I’m returning the favor and giving him some props on his new endeavor.
Thanks for the plug of the new site. It is already getting almost as much traffic as my original one.
