How good was Andrew M.’s “guest challenge?” So good that only person who submitted his answers was Harry J., and even though he only got about half of the questions correct, he still thought Andrew did a great job. I think so too! Questions 2, 3, and 8 made me jealous that I hadn’t thought [...]

I’d like to begin by thanking everyone for their patience with the long delay between the publication of the first half of the commenter survey results and this, the second half of those results. Normally this would be the place where I made some sort of humorous excuse for why this has happened, but the [...]

Believe it or not, Avoiding the Drop is about two weeks away from beginning its third year on the internet. That might not seem like much, but consider this: the average life expectancy for a blog/website is about a year. So, doing a a little quick math, we’re about a 157 years old in “human [...]

For several weeks I’ve been promising you the beginning of a new regular Monday feature and that is still going to happen- just not today.
