i wanted to let you know, i really like what you’re doing with your blog. Because its so unBlog. I’m pretty sick of the kind of spirit of seriousness that encases a lot of the blog writing on the web. The bloggers that envision themselves as sophisticated internet pundits, disseminating unique enlightenment to the general scene. i don’t think that blogging should be about dictation, and the exposition of objective value. What you’ve achieved with your space, i think, is a feeling of conversation instead. Rather than saying “here is value x; now observe my wit in unearthing it and elucidating it to you”, you’re creating your own values through creative exercise. Very post-structuralist of you. i think a lot of this has to do with the way in which you write. Many of the traditional blogs are still very modernist in conception – the writer’s identity is skewed, and the feel of the writing is very much like that of a topical magazine; with a kind of absurdly sacred respect for both the rules and the elegance of language. Your writing has a much more depressurized feel to it, and i think this creates a more authentic encounter. So, way to go with the whole thing.
