If you have something worth saying, a critical insight experience tells you is worth offering, there's no reason not to get it published -- in some form -- and a small obligation to do it.

90% + of bloggers are full of shit about actually doing things. Staying with it gives you the opportunity to meet the rest.

Well, seems to me you've got pretty good game for "not being an academic."

Sounds like you're heading that way tho. What field?

Just saying... It's a good blog you've got.

(I know what you mean about Crooked Timber too...) Wouldn't it be nice if someone started a decent alternative?

Harry-you are right of course.

CR-It would be nice to see a Crooked Timber-type blog without the habitual "fence-sitting" of ingrained academics, as Adrian says. This is one reason why I particularly like the PBA's mission statement of "intolerance," and why I hope some other people (see The Reading Experience) follow through on ideas to form an alternative Arts and Letters Daily.
