Gone fishin’
This blog is on indefinite hiatus.
Additional note, Thursday 11/2: Thank you all, so much, for your comments and emails. Regular posting will probably resume here sometime after late December, with significant changes in intent and focus. (Read: less politics without cause, less involvement in others’ arguments.)
Along these lines: Wapsie, way down in comment number 52, poses a question that I thought deserved your attention. I repost it here for your convenience. I have an answer, of sorts, perhaps to be explored in 2007, perhaps not. But the question is worth asking even without an answer.
See you in January.
Beautiful dog.
I’ve had the thought that blogs are “over.”
It’s a question worth posing on every blog:
What has all the good writing, the confirmation that there is really Someone Intelligent and Caring out there, actually accomplished—besides making us feel a little better for a few minutes?
Be honest about that. Even with the really big-time blogs. What real, solid gains—for people other than the big bloggers themselves, who enjoy a quasi-celebrity and a quasi-legitimacy—have been made because of blogs?
I’m not posing the question to put this blog down. It’s thoughtful, it’s well-written. But Chris himself mentions doubt about the real utility of blogs among his reasons to go on hiatus.
I think it’s a doubt worth addressing.
What is this medium for, exactly?
