I've been posting at Substack (https://davidheisenberg.substack.com) recently and will continue there. I will also occasionally post here. Mostly, my posts on Substack will be political, because that is mostly what I write about nowadays. It is really not what I like best to write about, but I feel like it is a duty, even if I can persuade one person a year or two to open their eyes and ears, and perhaps console some who are with me, but further along the path of despair. From now on, blogger will become a (at least mostly) non-political forum for me.
About Me
- David
- I started this blog in September, 2006. Mostly, it is where I can talk about things that interest me, which I otherwise don't get to do all that much, about some remarkable people who should not be forgotten, philosophy and theories (like Don Foster's on who wrote A Visit From St. Nicholas and my own on whether Santa is mostly derived from a Norse god) and analysis of issues that concern me. Often it is about books. I try to quote accurately and to say when I am paraphrasing (more and more). Sometimes I blow the first name of even very famous people, often entertainers. I'm much better at history, but once in a while I see I have written something I later learned was not true. Sometimes I fix them, sometimes not. My worst mistake was writing that Beethoven went blind, when he actually went deaf. Feel free to point out an error. I either leave in the mistake, or, if I clean it up, the comment pointing it out. From time to time I do clean up grammar in old posts as, over time I have become more conventional in my grammar, and I very often write these when I am falling asleep and just make dumb mistakes. It be nice to have an editor, but . . . .
