An Awesome Blog
March 14th, 2006 by MarkI have a new favorite blog, this month. It’s called johnbiesnecker.com. John’s an English teacher in China with an ambition for learning languages that you can’t help but respect. He’s striving to learn five languages in one decade, and I think he’ll make it! Not only that, but he writes at least one post pretty much every day. Chinese students, this is one blog not to miss!
The only thing wrong with his blog is that he’s inconveniently named “John”, just like another frequent commenter on Toshuo. My tag archive is getting over-loaded with Mikes and Johns, but I’ve added him as “John B”.

But seriously, you’re far too kind. I hope I (and my blog) can live up to your praise!

Yeah, he emailed me out of the blue a couple of months after I started blogging and told me my blog was blocked. Then he pointed me towards Wordpress and was even kind enough to do a couple of IP traces to help me get set up on the right Hostgator server so I wouldn’t be blocked anymore. At the time I thought he was just a really nice guy, but now I see that it was all a plot to get in on my blog before you could

Hey, I was born first. Besides, “John B” sounds better than “John P.”
And yeah, I’m pretty much never nice. My every action is a calculated part of one huge intricate plot.
