  • Ramble On

    It’s the Thanksgiving weekend and I’m feeling a bit lazy. I think I’ll just ramble on for awhile instead of writing a real article. Those of you reading from countries without a similar holiday may not understand much about Thanksgiving. In the United States it involves several days of overeating to the point of immobility,…

  • Loyal Reader Joe

    Those of you expecting a geography topic may be a bit disappointed with this article. Feel free to jump down directly to the “totally unrelated” section or return in a couple of days when I get back to the usual content. Today I diverge completely to another one of my favorite topics, my ongoing battle…

  • Maps as Passwords

    I offer a tip of the hat to Geographic Travels for featuring an article from MSNBC called “Future online password could be a map.” However, it’s not necessary for me to repeat the contents of the blog post or the article here.

A few months ago I had a growing problem with spammers. Thankfully I found a solution that keeps that junk away from my pages automatically.…

  • State of the Circle

    It’s difficult for me to believe, but I just hit the six month point with Twelve Mile Circle. So I thought I would take a moment to look back at the site by reviewing some highlights. Maybe I’ll even reflecting briefly upon the path that lead to this point. I wasn’t sure I’d last even…

  • Blessed Relief

    Please allow me to go off topic for a moment. Twelve Mile Circle was having quite a spam problem until yesterday. You, the readers, avoided this awful torment because I moderate comment on this blog. They do not become visible on the site until I review and approve each of them individually. When I first…
