This is This isn't There but Here and That is That

A couple of matters, dear readers.

Cliff Jones’s wonderful blog This is This is a little lost.

Seems that Cliff packed his bag of electrons and moved his Blogger blog to a new and quite appropriate domain, all its own – thisisthis.org

But having left his old blogspot home at thisisthis.blogspot.com unclaimed, someone else – Angel Richardson, this complete stanger – moved in! So, the redirect to Cliffy’s new home was up for only a modest couple of days.

So, it may seem to many fans of Cliff Jones and This is This that his blog has jumped off a cliff – but this is not so.

So, whether you are a This is This lover, or not one but willing to become one [It is an excellent, entertaining, expertly well-written blog. Blogmandu says check it out. THIS recent post, which can also be found HERE, is one of the best blog posts I have ever read, anywhere.] Please find Mr. Jones’s blog here, at thisisthis.org. Oh, and be sure to bookmark the new location, and change your RSS for This is This to this, and update your blogroll. And so … that is that.

Second item on the agenda: Blogmandu Roundups is tired and will be taking the rest of spring and the whole of summer off from its weekly regimen of posting a roundup of wonderful Buddhism-flavored blog posts. We hope to be back in the Fall, refreshed with more of the same old, same old. Meantime, much as thisisthis.blogspot.com was taken over by a complete stranger, Blogmandu will be fully taken over by Tom Armstrong’s evil twin, the fist-waving do-gooder, posting angry fix-the-world-or-else essays for the next ten weeks. Ah, yess. MUCH better. Tom Armstrong’s evil twin is to Tom Armstrong what Buddy Love is to the nutty professor.
