Sometimes I get sad when I see all these bloggers mention how long their blogs have been around; I was blogging early, but across many different domains, with many gaps between. Today at least I realized I’ve been hosting Mark Twain’s “The War Prayer” uninterrupted for 18½ years, having launched the month after 9/11. The idea was to have an entirely cruft- and ad-free version online, and indeed the logs consistently indicate that it’s routinely used by educators.
