how.dee jill, brandon & others,

  i wanted 2 share a couple of observations regarding the phenomenon of 
blogging as i ][per][c][eive][ it.

 as u noted brandon, the act of blogging does move procedural writing in2 
a more public meshing of|exposure 2 information & corresponding 
communication strata[s]......i also c it as manifesting the potential 2 
realign educative|theoretical discourse, in that blogs act 2 actively 
inject the author/writer/textualiser's ego [in a psychoanalytical sense] 
in2 contexts that m.part knowledge without c.king 2 data-sanitize or 
information-objectify, or [obviously] ad.here 2 academic|scientific 
clinical rigor or make the author passive|invisible......

.....the selection of the data that is [blog] archived & propagated is 
chosen via such individualistic filters [which in term utilize 
node-progression - via the "clusters" of blogs that jill refers 2 - in 
order to diffuse] ...almost the inverse of honed-down traditional 
theoretical practice & rigid formatting...........

..in 1 way, i ad.mire blogging 4 this potentiality..i also wonder where 
this type of personalised data morphing|selection|x.posure|info-cohesion 
can or will lead..........

caught in the blog|golb,
mez
