Quote of the day
There are a lot of crappy blogs, although we’ll never all agree about which ones they are. But the interpretation is insane. This is what people said about the damn printing press for goodness sakes. And would you judge the significance of telephones as if you were compelled to listen to every damn thing said on them? Blogs are not like all the city idiots in the world shouting into all the mobiles in the world, in just the one train carriage. Blogs are not “cacophonous”. You read blogs one at a time or not at all, on a purely voluntary basis.
Quite right. I also wanted the chance to point out that Brian is back to blogging, and I wish I could put into words how much relief and joy I feel about that. I’m not exaggerating. Certain people anchor me in reality, much more than they might ever suspect, and Brian is one of them. (This is why, when I am back in London, I try to engineer things so that I can pick his brains for an evening.) No wonder I’ve been out of sorts while he was away…
