What's New

(05-28-2002) A big thank you to Orrin Judd, who kept the site humming along while the editor was out on the annual Memorial Day canoe trip. Orrin found the time to help out here while also maintaining two distinct sites of his own.

(04-24-2002) Reductio Ad Absurdum has been named the Site of the Day at Vianet/EFNI Connect's North Bay Portal. A big Thank You to our Canadian friends!

(04-21-2002) A low-bandwidth, reduced version of the front page is now available. The page is suitable for PDAs and mobile devices. It may also be accessed as a custom Avant Go channel.

(04-20-2002) The individual Monthly Archive pages have been modified so that they are now organized by category, and then by chronology, thanks to improvements made in Movable Type Version 2.0. Previously they were organized by chronology only.

(04-16-2002) Reductio Ad Absurdum has been named the Conservative Site of the Day by Enter Stage Right. Thank you!

(03-07-2002) Reductio Ad Absurdum has been named the Spotlight Site today at Movable Type. Benjamin and Mena Trott's versatile Movable Type software is used to manage the content on this site, and is highly recommended. Thank you!

(02-20-2002) The Little Green Footballs weblog, always a great source of social and political commentary (especially on Arab and Israeli affairs) has named Reductio Ad Absurdum the "Blogga The Week." Thank you!

Additionally, several people have asked for a button to link to Reductio Ad Absurdum. My graphical abilities are virtually nonexistent, but feel free to use this very simple button (and thanks!):

(02-01-2002) In the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that references to books in print on this site will now be hyperlinked to their corresponding Amazon.com page, with our referral code. That means a small percentage of any book purchased as a result of said referral is credited to the referrer.

(01-19-2002) The portal page is now functional.

(01-13-2002) The new weblog is now up and running, with all major features functional, save for the Portal (the link is dead, so clicking on it has no effect). I'll be revising the portal at my personal site soon for this site, along with some minor tweaks.

This site has been tested and renders properly on I.E. 5.5 and 6.0 win, Mozilla 0.9.6 win, Opera 5.x and 6.x win, and NS 6.2 win, at 600x800 resolution (although it should scale to different widths). The site utilizes validated cascading style sheets (CSS2) and html 4.01 (strict). Occasionally, various hyperlinks will cause the html not to validate properly using the link below, but that should have no effect on the integrity or viewability of the document.

It is entirely possible that components of the site have problems. If you find any errors or have any suggestions or comments, please email me. Thanks for visiting the new site.
