Subscribe to my weekly newsletter

Subscribe to my weekly newsletter I don’t write here as often as I’d like to, and while I’ve tried to alter my habits to incorporate more frequent posting it just hasn’t happened, at least not yet. But a weekly newsletter may be the sweet spot as far as time management and …

An update on 'Reading List'

A daily post of links I read that day feels too spammy now that I’ve done it a few times. I’ll make it a weekly thing where I highlight the best of what I read that week.

My first post at Medium

My first post at MediumIt’s something I put here in January, but I thought I’d point it out in case you hadn’t seen it, or you prefer Medium, or you have yet to see Medium in action.

Errant law blogger repents, promises return to snarky, somewhat-informed weblog

Dearest readers, I know, I know: it’s been a while. I moved, started a new job, got married, and am preparing for the bar exam. “Busy” is an insufficient descriptor. In case the new look hasn’t given it away, though, you can expect regular publishing to restart very soon. Thanks for still reading. …

Should I merge Geekeries with this blog?

Why I Chose Temple Law

I originally posted this to one of my old blogs, The Rotten Word, in April 2009. I wanted to publish it here as well because I plan to write a follow-up soon, having graduated in January of this year. Many thanks to Philadelphia litigator Max Kennerly for his advice and kind words about this post …

Questions?

Now that Constant & Endless is up to a staggering 26 Tumblr followers, I’ve enabled the ability for signed-in Tumblr users to ask questions on this site. Just click the “?” in the links menu at the top of the page, or visit this link.

Site Design as Context: An Amateur's Perspective

Introduction I hesitated to change themes because, well, it’s one of those things people do instead of writing. But while my customized version of Quite Big theme had treated me very well, I hate using Tumblr’s default mobile theme on phones, or seeing my desktop-optimized layout on a tablet. I also …

Twitter replies and Instapaper integration

I wanted to post something brief to let you know I made a few small but (I think) useful additions to this site. First, I’ve added a button to the bottom of all posts letting Twitter users reply or ask questions directly from the post. Thanks to the purveyor of kaos.am for unknowingly alerting me to …

Housekeeping, too, is Constant & Endless

I’m changing a few things as I settle into my new theme and workflow here at Constant & Endless. In no particular order, those things are: I have changed the title of the RSS feed for this site from “By Joe Ross” to “Constant & Endless.” I’m appending “↗” to all link posts to make clear …

No Comment

I have turned off comments here at Constant & Endless. I have had only one comment since I started writing here, from Mr. Scott Carpenter. He left a good link, and I certainly don’t want to alienate him or anyone else who wants to tell me something in response to what I’ve written. But I trust …

Self-Promotion Alert: Read My (Very Short!) Fiction

This site is supposed to be me talking about the law and technology, but I have some shameless self promotion to do, so I’m deviating from the usual subject matter this week. <shameless_self_promotion> I recently started a new Tumblr called, creatively, Fiction by Joe Ross. I’m posting flash …

This is my new blog.

This is a post I ran recently at my Posterous blog, announcing my move over here. I thought I’d put it here for reference while I finish drafting a proper post about how my personal take on blogging has evolved over the years. Dear people who read this website, Here is a list of things I want to …
