Since Rick anointed a group of us as docents awhile back, we've been having stimulating conversations about the management of Olyblog via email. Sometimes we have actually gotten together in person, but I'd say 90 percent of our docenting has been done over email.

And, today, you can read those emails. Below the familiar docent block on the right hand side is a feed from our email list. The current crop of emails goes back about 15 or so, the most recent ones regarding me wondering if we should put the list up for all to see.

You won't actually be able to jump into our conversation, but this does mean that you can start blogging about our conversations on your own, if they ever get interesting enough.

For me, the reason we took this step is that you should have the right to see what we're talking about. Olyblog is as much your's as it is mine (actually, its totally Rick's, but its unbelievable how cool he is sometimes).

rss not updating

It appears that our rss feeds are not updating. I think this is because we don't have a "chron" module running. I've emailed our tech guru, so we should have it handled soon.


When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion. -C.P. Snow
