I simply cannot believe that I recently penned and posted my three hundredth column here at EEJournal. I think my columns average out at around 1,500 words apiece, which means we are talking about (pause while I launch my calculator app) 450,000 words!

The really sad thing is that when I was 16 years old circa 1973, my dear old mom did everything but beg me to do two things: (1) Learn to touch type and (b) Learn to use Pitman Shorthand.

Mum was a blackbelt at both. In the case of typing, I think she ran around 90 words-per-minute. With respect to Pitman, she cruised along at 170 words-per-minute. She once went to Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), which is a cycle of four German-language epic music dramas composed by Richard Wagner that are often played over four consecutive evenings. On one of the evenings, she took the entire opera down in Pitman shorthand. Remembering that this is sung in German, that’s quite a feat.

I didn’t listen to her, of course. I was far too clever for that. I remember thinking, “When will I ever need to type?” This was before we had any idea that computers were going to become so ubiquitous in our lives. I also remember thinking, “When will I ever need to use shorthand?” This was long before I ended up transitioning from being an engineer to being someone who spends much of his life interviewing engineers (where the ability to take shorthand would be really handy) and then writing about how hard engineering used to be when I started out (“And you tell the young people of today, and they don’t believe you,” as they say in the classic Four Yorkshiremen sketch by Monty Python).

So, 450,000 words captured with my two trusty “hunt-and-peck” index fingers and presented here at EEJournal for your delectation and delight. You’re welcome.

After I posted my first 100th column I created my Eeek! 100 Captivating Columns and Counting column to celebrate the event. When I reached my second 100th column, I followed up with my Yet Another 100 Captivating Columns and Counting column. That seems to have been just a couple of weeks ago, but the numbers don’t lie.

You could, of course, find all these offerings by rooting around EEJournal for yourself, but who has the time for that? So, to make your life easier (and who else does that?), I’ve gathered the links to columns #201 through #300 here for your viewing pleasure. I dare to flatter myself that some of these are little gems (well, at least, “diamonds in the rough”).

What would really make my day would be for you to skim through the following titles, diving in and out as you wish, and reporting your favorites in the comments below (I’d also be interested to hear which titles most grabbed your attention). So, hold onto your hat, because here we goooooo……
