The Invisible Hand

To My Kiwi Friend

Right now there is probably some obscure student on the edge of the earth wasting his time writing a thesis about blogs. No doubt it will be full of analysis about how the blogosphere is dominated by “right wingers” who are acting out some primal frustration fueled by greed, envy and racism. What a bore.

How about just writing a blog instead of writing about a blog? It’s more fun and a hell of a lot more intellectually stimulating. Otherwise you might just end up with a big thick academic paper about a fad that came and went before you even finished studying it.

You know who you are.
