  • It’s My Self-Referential Introduction Post

    My girlfriend reads exactly one blog. Mine! The other day she asked if she could do a guest post. So without further ado, here is Witgirl. After this I’m no longer a virgin I’m new to the blogosphere, yet thanks to the trusty guidance of Chase March I am slowly becoming acquainted.  I know I […]


  • I Thought It Wasn’t For Me

    It’s no secret that I don’t like social networking sites. I’ve written about this topic several times here on Silent Cacophony. That’s why you will probably be surprised that I have been won over by one of them. That’s right, I am on Twitter and enjoying it. At first I didn’t get it and I […]


  • Double Spacing Between Sentences is Not Cool Anymore!

    I never really learned how to type properly. I’m not horrible at it. I can type fairly fast but I only use about four fingers and a thumb to do so. I remember learning that it was proper to hit the space bar two times at the end of each sentence. For typewriters this was […]


  • Year Three of My Five-Year Mission

    My five-year mission was simply to write as much as possible with the goal of being published within five years. I started this blog two years ago today with that goal in mind. It seemed achievable and I have been working towards that end since then. This was my first-year update at the start of […]


  • Supplying Today

    I’ve the honour of being a substitute teacher today over at Blogging Without a Blog. It is my first guest post assignment and I hope that you will head over there to read my post today.


  • Journal Vs Blog

    Last year, I wrote 250 blog entries. Do the math. 250 entries divided by 365 days in the year = a 68.5% efficiency. That number is misleading though since my goal was to write a blog entry every weekday. So let’s revise the numbers 52 weeks in a year times 5 days a week = […]


  • Blog Inaction Day

    Yesterday I lamented about the old posts that get forgotten in the blogosphere. Today I have a solution. We need to collectively stop and take a look back. That’s why I am proposing a Blog Inaction Day. That’s right. A day of inaction. A day where all bloggers don’t publish anything. A day where we […]


  • Blogs are Disposable

    You know it’s true. I mean, when was the last time you read a post of any blog that wasn’t the most recent post? Why is it that we always gravitate towards the newest material? We only want to see the latest movies, either at the ciniplex or at the rental store. We only want […]


  • Welcome to the SC!

    Silent Cacophony was born a long, long time ago. I remember exactly how it started. I was fishing through the dictionary and came across this wonderful word “cacophony.” It meant a harsh or discordant sound. I didn’t even know how to pronounce the word at the time, but it resonated with me for some reason. […]


  • Twice as Much Work

    It’s a bit frustrating teaching a split class. There is just so much stuff that I need to juggle. I’ve been trying my best and I know that I’ve been doing a good job. But I also know, that I can always do better. I’ve been staying late almost every single night for the past […]
