Celebrating Two Years On This Blog
March 28, 2012 § Leave a comment
It all started with a trip to Montenegro and the idea of decreasing informational input, and increasing productive output.
I’m subscribed to more blogs and mailing lists than ever, have more interesting podcasts that I want to listen to, and my bookshelf is in a permanent state 0f near-collapse – so I have obviously not really learnt my lesson. However, much has happened over the last two years, and that is worth celebrating.
The most-read posts are, thankfully, when I write some content. Top posts include:
- The attack on Johann Hari is an attack on our progressive infrastructure.
- What are practical, meaningful actions campaigns can ask people to take?
- What Rio+20 could be about.
Here’s to the next two years – and thank you for reading, sharing and commenting.
