Old Blog Archive

These are posts from my two old blogs, both now defunct. Most links go to archived copies on archive.org. Where a post has a newer home on my own sites, the title links there instead, with the archived original alongside.

The journal blog was signed “Ziggy,” my college nickname, since I started it in college. The posts are mine, by Paul Spooner. Many of the important articles were re-published on X in 2024; see the X section of my author page.
