An outsider’s view

Posted on March 26, 2011 by Kenneth Sutton

. . . of a fantastic Quaker meeting: “pretty much the weirdest thing I have ever been to.”

It’s really a fantastic essay by a college student who visited Freedom Friends Church.

Favorite websites

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Kenneth Sutton

Funny how odd it seems to be making this list on my blog! I’ve never been much of one for blogrolls, even back when that was a major part of most blogs. I am, however, a voracious consumer of RSS feeds. I use Google Reader to manage them. Here are a few of my favorites.

Blog goals

Posted on March 7, 2011 by Kenneth Sutton

Goals? Who said anything about the blog having goals?

  • originally, as the subhead says, an aide-mémoire (but only useful if I actively blog!)
  • to vent on political or social topics for which I feel I have no other venue
  • to be on record publicly
  • to influence whoever might come across or follow the blog
  • to be findable by old friends and coworkers

Least favorite words

Posted on March 6, 2011 by Kenneth Sutton

I don’t think I actually have “least favorite” words per se (at least not that I can put on a blog), although context does put me off as an editor.

  • “And” or “but” when used to begin a sentence.
  • “However” when used to begin a sentence with the sense of “although.”
