Thanks! Can I suggest that you might enjoy following my blog regularly? In addition to utility poles, I have also discussed this year: Samuel Johnson's feud with James Macpherson, a fraudulent poet; the panicked history of England in 1533 after Henry VIII's mistress got pregnant; the Slaughter electric needle injector; how plutonium is used to power medical devices; equivalents of "Joe Blow" in Turkish and Hebrew. Also a lot of other stuff more or less random. https://blog.plover.com/ https://blog.plover.com/

I am all over that! Thank you for sharing.

Why do you denigrate your own work so often, though? Most of the time, when someone posts your articles, you reply "does this guy ever shut up" or "this post sucks".

  I think it's funny.

I realize this may be a silly question, but how do I follow your blog? Is there an email subscription? Do I need some app to access your RSS feed? I feel like this should be easier to solve than it is. (:

  You'll need an RSS reader, such as newsblur.com

  In Firefox, you can just visit https://blog.plover.com/index.atom https://blog.plover.com/index.atom or https://blog.plover.com/index.rss https://blog.plover.com/index.rss and the browser will present you with a button that says “subscribe to this feed using live bookmarks” which will add it to your Firefox bookmarks, and it will look just like any other bookmark folder, except that it will always contain the dozen or so most recent posts. Probably other browsers have something similar, either built-in or supplied as a plugin.
