Let us now praise Bill Benzon's New Savanna

How is it that I only stumbled across this wonderful blog a couple weeks ago, even though it's been alive and very well since 2010 — and getting livelier by the year!

Consider that Benzon averaged about one post/day when he started out, and that he's steadily upped the activity such that last year an average of 2-3 posts/day appeared.

But wait: there's more!

So far this year he's published 351 posts in 88 days — over 4/day!

He's like a Bizarro World version of me: I started out back in 2004 and quickly revved up to 8 posts daily — about 2,900/year — and over the ensuing 18+ years have gradually decreased my output to 3/day.

Even more astonishing to me is that his posts are more often than not quite long and involved.

His capsule biography:

He's an excellent writer, wry and amusing and full of appreciation for what's strange and wonderful.

Fair warning: there goes the day.
