While Mark finishes up King Corn and I finish up Letters from the Hive, I thought I'd take this chance to get to know all of our new readers.  Time for a poll!  Feel free to add any additional thoughts in the comments section.

My Ballot Box

I read Walden Effect because... I know one or both of you personally and like to stay up to date with your lives. I try to be self-sufficient and/or live simply. I would like to be self-sufficient and/or live simply, though haven't tried it yet.

I found Walden Effect.... because I know you and you wouldn't stop talking about it. because a friend passed me a link. through an internet search. by clicking an ad for the avian aqua miser. some other way.

What do you think about the frequency of our posts? Y'all post way too much. Entries get kicked off the bottom of the page before I get to them! I like to procrastinate by reading your blog several times a day. Post more! The number of posts is just right.

I check your blog... more than once a day every day at least once a week less than once a week This is the first time I've visited

How about the length of our posts? I like the short ones. I like the long ones. I like both.

What would you like to hear more about? your personal lives Huckleberry! (And those other pets. What were their names again?) bees and worms chickens cooking how to posts energy independence experiments gardening musings questions from readers reviews tools videos worms

What do you think about our various lunchtime series? Love them. Hate them. Whatever.
