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?"

OCEAN CITY

I'm at the Ocean City Convention Center, bayside, using a computer in Exhibit Hall C at the Maryland Municipal League Convention. As the wife of a municipal official, UD is proudly wearing around her neck a big green identification card that gives her access to this sort of thing. And so much more!

UD has nothing of significance to say today beyond hello, I'm still here, and will soon be blogging again about universities. But having just gotten out of a tour of Ripley's Believe It or Not on the boardwalk with her daughter, UD has nothing in her head beyond mild revulsion at the range of mutations to which flesh is heir.

Back in a bit.
