"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?"

SPRING AND FALL:
To a young blogger




Margaret, are you blogging
While your neighbor is out jogging?
Blogs, like the things of man, you
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?

Ah! As the posts grow older
They will come to such sites colder
By and by, nor spare a sec
To simply check
The frequent updates.

Now no matter, child, the name:
Sorrow’s springs are the same.
Nor mouth had, no nor mind expressed
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:

It is the goal posters prog for:
It is Margaret you blog for.
