I want to thank all of the class participants for their willingness to try blogging. One question a couple people asked was about the value of maintaining a blog. (I loved the Talking Heads quote by the way). Essentially, maintaining a blog is just another form of conversation, perhaps most like an open letter. When we write, we usually have an audience in mind, but with a blog the possibility of a chance encounter and a spontanious conversation exists. Blogs are a written form of conversation, something that was ephemeral, now in a retrievable format. Yes, it can be just more bother about nonsense, but then again that is the question about most forms of communication. What is it good for?
