Blogging

Posted on December 8, 2010 by jimgilvin

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.

Technical issues have made it more difficult to post quick updates and the holidays have reduced the amount of time I have available for writing articles. If you follow me on Twitter, @jimgilvin, you can see some of the interesting items I find. The 140 character limit of Twitter relieves me of my inclination to spend a great deal of time expounding on the subjects.

Here are some items you may want to check out:

Argument for reducing/eliminating Georgia’s income tax

Argument for not reducing/eliminating Georgia’s income tax

Tax comparison of North Fulton County and Forsyth County

I have to go write articles for my neighborhood newsletter now so I hope that will keep you busy for a while.

Comments? We don’t need no stinkin’ comments!

A person attempted to add a comment to my earlier post about public transportation. The comment makes some statements that I would like to address but unfortunately they also chose to be insulting. So instead of debating them at this point I will take this opportunity to explain my comment policy.

This is not a public forum. This is my forum. I do this blog because I want to and I will publish your comments if I want to.

I don’t mind good natured jabs every once in a while and I enjoy a good debate so commenters don’t have to agree with me. But let me be clear: I feel no obligation to subsidize any commenter’s rudeness and that is doubly true when I already subsidize their chosen mode of transportation to the tune of $1100 a year.

too much things to do

Posted on January 29, 2009 by jimgilvin

I haven’t been blogging much lately. Free time has been coming in snippets and I have spent much of that time on Facebook and Twitter.

I have made several quick posts on other media with the full intention of coming back and fleshing the ideas out here on my blog. After all, the entire purpose of this blog is to give me a forum in which I can write at length about anything I choose. But I am still a neophyte at this and have yet to work out a schedule which allows me the time to do all of the things that I would like to do.

But I am determined to have more music and more writing in my life so there will be more of both on this blog.
