Sunday in Outer Blogness: Short break edition!

chanson, July 3, 2016

Hey folks! The sun finally came out here in Zürich (for the first time in about 7-8 weeks) so I spent the day gardening and biking with my kids (not to mention a bit of watching France beat Iceland in the Euro-Cup semi-finals). Yet, those things alone (plus my friend visiting to garden with me) would not have been enough to keep be from doing SiOB this week.

No, I had a much bigger distraction.

Adam Lee finally wrapped up his series deconstructing Atlas Shrugged — his weekly article on it has been my little Friday pleasure for years now. In the comments, in the course of discussing what he should do next, someone linked to another blogger’s deconstruction of the Chronicles of Narnia. Yep. And I’d like to thank that commenter for linking me to something that I could not stop reading, something which ate up every single free second of my weekend.

So, while maybe I could do SiOB now (it’s only 10 pm here in Switzerland), I’m really tired, and I can’t do SiOB tomorrow because I’ll be traveling. I will get back to SiOB as soon as I can.

Also note: a friend wrote to warn me that there’s a problem with the certificate on this site — anyone else experiencing that problem?

    Thanks for the info, Bob and MTodd.

    My other friend who mentioned it also had the problem on a mobile device. Maybe some mobile devices don’t accept (free) “let’s encrypt” certificates…? I will have to look into it.
