Something new added to The Column

The Column, Reloaded will start running short pieces, random observations and a bit of "spot" news to go with the longer articles.

Using a service called Jott, I am able to phone these shorter pieces directly into The Column.

A few caveats, though. These pieces are going in unedited, and sometimes they will look like they were typed in by a drunken Martian. So, until I edit the shorter pieces, you can click on the "listen" link to hear my actual dictation. As soon as the editing is completed, that link will be removed.

Jott, by the way, is a very handy service. I highly recommend it if you're a blogger.

But this will mean more frequent posts, and more variety in what The Column, Reloaded has to offer. Man does not live by hard-hitting commentary alone.
