I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Christmas Hints

If your not afraid to look like a deranged nerd the Corpus Callosum has a valuable tip for Christmas.
If you celebrate, or at least attend, a holiday during which gifts, especially electronic gifts, are likely to be given, then do yourself, and everyone else, or at least some others, a favor, by bringing a Sharpie fine-point, not extra-fine, but regular-fine-point marker, and when anyone, including yourself, opens a present that includes one of those little plug-in chargers, take out the Sharpie, with a flourish, not a major ostentatious flourish, but a modest flourish, and LABEL the charger with the name of the thing it is supposed to plug in to.

No one will thank you right away.

In fact, they will think you are strange.
