UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

UD Now an Adjective.

UD's blogpal, The Cranky Professor, employs what he calls the Soltanesque approach to prose analysis in a thoughtful take on what to do with ugly, unloved modernist buildings.

Which reminds me to mention that if you'd like to read UD on this and related architectural topics, you can spend eight bucks and buy an old copy of the wonderful journal Raritan at Amazon.com, in which she holds forth.
