The home page and original site for the Famous Grazing Blogs

There are more than a dozen Famous Grazing Blogs residing on the cybersphere. Some are dormant and some very active. They all link back here to the Granddaddy of our blogs, founding in May of 2004.

Only 1200? It seems like more...

The new Blogger interface tells me we have blogged 1200 + times since Belltowernews.com opened.  It seemed more than that, but I am most likely combining all of the other shouts made to the now bottomless social media.

The editors here have a combined Twitter count of over 5000.

Had Twitter never appeared, many of those comments would've landed here.  Facebook & Google Plus are also now taking a lot of our expressive output.

The tweets are brought up in the sidebar of this blog, and the blog entries, at least the gist of them, make it our the @sgtret Twitter account.  I know there's a way to ling the Google + account as well, but, at least while it is still in beta, we will keep that account off of the radar.

Sitting Here With 4 Screens...

On this sultry Summer night after a heavy rain, I'm sitting in my cave with floor fan on high.  There are two laptops running different pieces of work.  The home laptop has an additional two screens.  Combined with the other; there are now four screens in front of me.

So,  what am I doing?

Reading a Jim Butcher short story in the collection entitled Urban Fantasy on my HTC Evo as it rests on its kickstand.  It starts with a story by Jim Butcher, which after reading his latest Harry Dresden book, Ghost Story,  I am apt to buy anything written by him.

His illustrated novel, Welcome to the Jungle, is very tempting, but $15.00 for what is essentially a high class comic book goes against the grain of someone who remembers getting a comic book, soda and candy bar for a quarter.
