Biblioblogger Lunch at the SBL
Posted by Kevin A. Wilson on 19 Nov 2007 3:24 am. Filed under Blogging , Conferences.
We had twenty-one people at the biblioblogger get together today. Unfortunately, I developed laryngitis after conversations in a noisy restaurant the night before, so I mostly got to listen to conversations. I did, however, pass around a sheet of paper for everyone to sign. Here, then, is the canonical list of bibliobloggers who gathered this year:
- Kevin A. Wilson - Blue Cord
- Ben Myers - Faith and Theology
- Kevin Scull - Novum Testamentum
- Brandon Wason - Novum Testamentum and Bibliobloggers.com
- Duane Smith - Abnormal Interests
- Chris Weimer - Thoughts on Antiquity
- J.B. Hood - Deinde
- Joe Weaks - The Macintosh Biblioblog
- Stephen Carlson - Hypotyposeis
- Mark Goodacre - NT Gateway Weblog
- James Crossley - Earliest Christian History
- Jim West - Jim West
- Chris Tilling - Chrisendom
- Christian Brady - Targuman
- Stephen L. Cook - Biblische Ausbildung
- Bob MacDonald - Dr. MacDonald
- T. Michael W. Halcomb - Pisteuomen
- Pat McCullough - kata ta biblia
- Jim Getz - Ketuvim
Also in attendance were Paul Buckley and David Mihalyfy, who do not blog but apparently enjoy eating lunch with a large group of geeks.
I also present the canonical list of those who did not attend:
- Women
- Minorities
- Guys who got dates in high school
I’m not sure why, but biblioblogging seems to be primarily a white male thing. I’m sure there are exceptions, but none of them came to lunch.

I would have attended, but I had a better offer: lunch with three of my Pepperdine colleagues and a potential new hire.

We missed you Chris. Perhaps next year in Boston.

Hey wait a minute! I had a girlfriend all throughout high school! And does being Jewish count as being a minority? We certainly could have used more women there.
It was great meeting you finally!

I want to second Chris’ assertion. I too did not lack companionship in my adolescent years.

[…] today and added the XFN tag “met” for all of the bibliobloggers who attended the biblioblogger lunch at the SBL last month. So far I have yet to see XFN data used for anything useful, but I like tagging stuff. […]
