What separates them from the herd? Via Andrew Sullivan, Merlin Mann and Jason Kottke weigh in.

I must say, it’s gratifying – in a bittersweet kinda way – to see people finally starting to say some of the same things about the sad state of mainstream media in southern gospel that I’ve been saying for years now (in fact, one of the many ancillary but not unimportant reasons I started this […]

There’s a fascinating thread of comments from readers at Matt Yglesias’s blog about finding an ideal balance in blog postings. I know you’ll be shocked to here this, but I tend to write long and tedious blog posts, so I offer all this without amendment to reform. (I have to communicate with discipline and […]

So my ISP tells me that the the Wordpress PHP script on my index file is apparently causing excess CPU usage (I’ve been quarantined to a special server, evidently). I know next to nothing about these issues, so I’m wondering if any savvier technical minds out there than mine have some theories. Could it be […]

It quietly came and went a few weeks ago. I note it only fwiw, which varies wildly depending on whom you ask, of course. The usual stuff applies about what a great bunch of readers I have on the whole. A friend of mine emailed the other day to remark that the average intelligence of […]

Many of you were gracious enough to spend some time filling out a survey to help me better understand my readers, so I thought I’d pass along the results, now that they’re up (and yes, when I registered initially, I misspelled the site name as averyfinline, a mistake that seems to be etched in virtual […]

Southern Gospel Critique, a newish blog of mostly music appreciation, regularly finds and links to ebay auctions of sg and related styles of music (or sells off bits of his own collection). I’ve scored a few finds either from one of his links or from subsequent searches. If you’re an ebay/sg junkie, it might be […]

A hip friend of mine turned Averyfineline HQ onto Pandora, part of the Music Genome Project (the interns are also atwitter over the Roku, but that’s another story). The basic idea is that you plug in some of your favorite kinds of music or artists and Pandora custom builds an aggregating “station” that pulls music […]
