It seems people are reading my blog from every continent. I’m impressed.
I’d love for some people who aren’t regular commenters to send a comment to me, saying hi and where you’re from (especially if you’re from Africa, South America or Asia!), and tell me a bit about how you got here, why you’ve come and what you’d like to read about. It’d help me get a better picture of whom I’m blogging to and what I should blog more about.
To all of you out there, thanks for reading my blog, and I hope to read your comments soon.

Antarctica would be cool. Anyone at Scott Base or McMurdo Sound reading Paul’s blog?

Apparently not. And so far I haven’t seen a red spot on that continent in anyone’s ClustrMap. Either blogging aint great down there, or ClustrMaps doesn’t recognise it.

But I am just now reading an article that drew data in 2004 from livejournal.com, where they state some blogs have been constructed in Antarctica. So looks like I’m wrong. If you’re from Antarctica, let me know!

Hi Paul, we met in Sigtuna, Sweden last July. And I don’t remember how I found my way here.
Anyway, I am one from East Asia, though your map doesn’t show that, cos I’m still hiding myself in Edinburgh at the moment.
Most of the things you write here are good-reads. I just come here once in a while as an update of you, and really learnt quite a lot about an area that I know almost nothing but am curious of.
Unfortunately, my blog is 94.4973% in Chinese; you won’t be able to read it :p
Anyway, I just received a book alert from Amazon & wonder if you might be interested in taking a look at it:

(Personally I don’t like the way the book presents itself though.)
All the best!

Hey Yam,
Yeah I remember you from Sigtuna, but hadn’t connected our meeting with your username. I think we first met on the media.faith email list.
I’d love to hear more about your research into religious identity in Hong Kong cinema. How’s it progressing? Do you have anything online that’s in English (like, do you have any papers loaded on your blog). Did you find my stuff on horror any help?
I’ve been aware of Bailey and Storch’s stuff through their podcast. Despite that it’s all about blogging, it’s also about contemporary/traditional models of church structure, mission and evangelism, and pretty much nothing to do with emerging church. And I agree with your disaffection with the book’s presentation.
