"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."

"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?"

Well, well...

...this is a new one on me. Even as I blog, my English 137: Modernism students are taking a midterm in front of me. Exam blogging! It may not be impressive to you, but I think it's amazing that there's a computer up here for me to log onto and start blogging with while the little ones sweat over Gertrude Stein's inanities.

Of course, as Thoreau and other technophobes anticipated, now that I've got this remarkable capacity, I have nothing of value or interest to say. The sole interest of this post lies in its taking place simultaneous with my administering a midterm at my university.
