This blog is a random collection of information, originally set up in support of my long-neglected quotations web site<\/strong><\/a>. I usually schedule a QotD<\/acronym> posting and a video on a topic that interests me (usually a few months in advance — trying to be topical that early in the morning is for the birds). Other common blog topics include economics, history, libertarianism, military topics, woodworking, and other random things which happen to strike my fancy. Backup site is at http:\/\/quotulatiousness.blogspot.com\/<\/strong><\/a> (I’ll post updates there if there’s an extended problem on the main blog).<\/p>\n

This is the second home for the blog, having started on the 10th of May, 2004 at http:\/\/www.bolditalic.com\/quotulatiousness\/<\/a>, courtesy of my virtual landlord, Jon P. He’d decided to dabble in blogging, so he’d installed MovableType and started a blog, Blogulaciousness<\/em>, to which this blog’s name was a backhanded tribute. Unfortunately, Jon decided to quit blogging after a few months, leaving me with a name that didn’t make as much sense as I’d hoped it would. The 2004-2009 archives are no longer online (except through archive.org<\/a> or similar sites). I switched from MovableType at Jon’s site to my own WordPress site in July 2009 (the first week or so had items cross-posted at both sites).<\/p>\n

Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the social media site formerly known as Twitter<\/a> become less welcoming to those of us with anything other than hard-left beliefs, I set up accounts on Gab.com<\/a> and on MeWe<\/a>. I used to be active on Facebook, but I went down some sort of security rabbit hole early in 2020 and I no longer have access to my account.<\/p>\n
