I have made it so easy for you to subscribe to The 100 Billionth Person! All you need to do is move your cursor to the sidebar, type in your email address, click the YES button and, mirabile dictu, you will be notified if a day dawns with a new post on this blog.
The ability to subscribe to this blog obsoletes (almost) all the Facebook nag notes I have posted to encourage you to visit. Yes, there will be a few Facebook reminders — this blog sits in its own little corner of the internet, but for me to ignore Facebook is sort of stupid.
It does not cost a thing to subscribe to The 100 Billionth Person. Unlike NPR, I will not be interrupting the blog every few months to ask readers for pledges or donations. On the other hand, some subscribers might enjoy a 100 Billionth Person coffee mug — I’ll have to think about that. I might like one myself.
Last but not least: if you subscribe to The 100 Billionth Person, your notices may be directed to the spam folder of your email client. I have done what I can on this end to avoid this, but you can help, dear reader, by marking these notifications as “not spam.”
Thank you for your interest. Making connections is why I write.

Bring back the “Readers Disgust”
Readers Disgust (or “Discussed”, should you choose to focus on reactions to print media–and, after all, don’t we live in a kinder, gentler America??) should be reprised. No charge for the advice, since it wasn’t my idea in the first place.
