My Lost Art of Blogging

For those of you who may not have noticed, I do not update this blog with tremendous regularity. I regret this, as during my college years I made it a point to blog frequently, either here or on one of my now-defunct sub sites. Unfortunately, as the responsibilities of real life and adulthood have set [...]

At the Airport

I’m traveling today and will hopefully be back at my apartment before 5, if everything goes according to plan. I had a great time with the family, particularly with a certain freakishly intelligent miniature schnauzer who insisted on rolling in the snow every chance he got. I also caught up on some reading, and finished [...]

Riding the Google Wave

I have noticed that the primary purpose of Google Wave so far seems to be inspiring jealousy in people who haven’t been invited to it yet. The furor with which some individuals lobby for access to the program is fascinating, as no one yet seems entirely sure what it does or what its practical applications [...]

“Consolidating My Web Presence”

It says a tremendous amount about who I am that I am spending time today “consolidating my web presence,” whatever that means. Basically, I’m going through everything I have online, figuring out what I want to keep and what I don’t, and adjusting accordingly , i.e, focusing my web identity. The fact that I think [...]

And Now, The Punchline

Many apologies for neglecting the site over these last few weeks, but I’ve got some big news that I’m all too happy to share with you fine people.  I’ve been hired on by the Republican National Committee as a Product Manager in their New Media Division.  As of two weeks ago I am officially a [...]

The D.C. Writeup

Hey everybody!  I strongly encourage you all to take a look at the D.C. Writeup.  It’s a news and opinion site maintained by and for young, politically-minded adults.  I’m writing a weekly column over there now.  My first entry, entitled “A Call For Leadership,” was published today.  Give it a shot, and be sure to [...]

Obama’s Plans to Cut Military Spending

I’ve managed to port over some more of the old Blogger posts, which are now available in the archives.  I’ll be doing more updates throughout the week.  Stay tuned! While you’re waiting, here’s a video on President Obama’s plans to cut military spending. Obama Axes Pentagon Plan To Build Billion Dollar Tank In Shape Of [...]

Hard at Work

I’ve spent a lot of time building two web sites over the last ten days.  Consequently, I haven’t been able to write as much as I’d have liked.  That said, since I have more or less got the sites where I want them, I am now able to get back to work on the important [...]

The New StefanClaypool.com

Hey, another new one!  Seriously, once I had everything for my other sites ported over to WordPress, I just had to do it with this one as well.  I’m going to be experimenting with the design for the next few days, but I’m pretty pleased with it. To elaborate, these past few weeks I’ve put [...]

Back at School

Apologies for the shortage of posts, but today is my first day of classes and I’m still in the process of getting organized.  I’ll start posting regularly again in the very near future. But I would like to take this time to applaud Keith Olbermann for completely self-destructing at MSNBC. Keith, I always had confidence [...]
