Its hard to believe, but today marks the third anniversary of this here blog. In taking a look over the past year, it seems to be… well… lame. Not in the sense that what I was posting was crap, but, rather, that I wasn’t posting much. There was a brief resurgence of posting in July of last year, when I first switched to Movable Type, but that only lasted a few months (and there wasn’t much there anyway). I stumbled through the winter months, mostly posting at a rate of about once a month. Things sped up around March and April, as I became more comfortable posting about politics and, in particular, the military and the intelligence community. Thanks to an indirect but swift kick to the butt from Steven Den Beste, I came to the conclusion that my totally irregular posting schedule was a really bad thing. I started slow, resolving to post every Sunday, in the hopes that such a loose schedule would help me stick to it. So far it has, and its actually caused me to increase my posting in general. The last few months have been really good, IMHBCO.
Anyway, here are some of my favorite posts from the last year:
- Footnotes from Beyond the Zero, part II (one of the weirder posts of the year)
- Spy Games
- Living in Historic Times
- To hit or not to hit, that is the question
- Security & Technology
- Oshkosh b’ Gosh
- Dezinformatsiya (The Power of Disinformation)
There are others, but I always have difficulty compiling these sort of lists… If you have any favorites of your own, feel free to post them in the comments below (along with any other bitter criticism, astute observations, or death threats…)
