I’ve just finished a website for Richard Griffin, a journalist who has been writing columns for many years. He wanted a website to list and archive his writings, and so I’ve created http://richardbgriffin.com for him. It features articles, blog, links, and a few static pages.
It was actually interesting to create the site – he has nearly a thousand articles from the last decade (and more from before that aren’t web-published). The last decade is when my most vivid memories have developed, so it was a sort of blast-from-the-past as I processed articles about Pope John Paul II, Bush’s presidential wins, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the 2008 presidential election.
I don’t agree with everything or even anything that my clients want on their websites, but it’s still an interesting read. Check it out if you have the time – there’s lots of articles about aging and spirituality.

Claire Suddath’s 25 Things (Time Magazine)
Claire Suddath’s article on 25 Things I Didn’t Want to Know About You, as I mentioned in a previous post, was satirizing the ridiculousness of the 25 Things Facebook trend. Rather than driving sense into people and the trend into oblivion, Suddath most likely raised its profile – indeed, someone actually found my blog from a Google search for “claire suddath 25.
It reminds me of the time a hostage’s life was being determined based on the amount of website traffic. I forget the exact details, or whether the story was even true, but the victim’s survival basically depended on people not visiting a certain website.
What happens next? Of course, the story is all over the TV and popular news channels. Poor guy, I hope it was a false story. Shame on you, journalists who report on something bad only to raise your own profiles!
