I've moved on!

Hi -- I'm not blogging at this site anymore - I'm blogging now at www.ryanbolger.com.

One Year Blog Anniversary

My one-year blog anniversary came and went. I had 89 posts last year; I'm surprised that I wrote that many, given my last hiatus from blogging. The academic quarter overwhelmed me -- I did everything possible to stay up with two new courses and some writing projects. The quarter is not over, but I'm determined to regain contact with those in the blogger community. More blog posts will be coming soon...

End of Fall Quarter

Well, the last classes for fall quarter ended Friday. I had an amazing quarter with my two classes -- great students. They were really game to try some new things, including blogs and wikis. They learned a good deal and I did as well.

Regarding my own blog site, I became a 'bad' blogger -- rarely posting. I made a rule for myself, that I wouldn't blog until my classes were all that I wanted them to be. Problem was, I was so ambitious about my classes (both being new) that I never came to the place where I was satisfied -- and thus never got to blogging. I need to rethink this rule because I think blogging is a thing I need to do to stay connected with the wider world...

I will have some time to rethink how to integrate blogging as I will not be teaching for another two months, not until I teach "Emerging Churches" with Eddie Gibbs as a two-week intensive Jan. 30-Feb.10...

I spent Friday catching up with many blogs so I look forward to entering the conversation again...

Where Did I Go?

Thanks for those asking where I have been -- Rhett you were right -- my two new classes are keeping me pretty busy -- great stuff, but I am barely staying ahead of the students (if that) ...What else?

I was sick with the flu for two weeks -- that pretty much knocked me out --

I saw U2 at the Staples Center Tuesday of last week -- awesome show -- I definitely have some blog posts off of that if I can sit down for a few minutes...

Cool things coming up: Brian McLaren is speaking here at Fuller at November 8, 7pm to 9pm on Tuesday -- I have the good fortune, along with Kara Powell and Rudy Carrasco to offer a response...

On Dec. 3, 9am to 12pm, I'm speaking with the Emergent SoCal group - really looking forward to that as well...

Changed Domain Name

My old domain name still works (www.thebolgblog.typepad.com), and I continue to blog at typepad.com. However, I thought it might be a good idea to get my own domain name as well, so now I am, quite simply, www.thebolgblog.com or thebolgblog.com ...

Blogging Sins

Sorry about the long post yesterday -- I am new to blogdom/the blogosphere and I am just getting my feet wet. I realize I could have put my comments on several smaller posts instead of one big large one. Oops. Thanks to those who had the patience to wade through the whole thing!!

First Post

Here it is my first post -- After 5 years lurking, maybe I'll start saying something (or not)...
