Jesus! I'm a huge Neddie fan. That's why he's in my course. And what is this "some radio-show creature adjunct-teaching"" crap? I've got some halfway decent writing credits there, dude. The link is meant to reflect some interesting questions about the nature of the blog aesthetic. I mean, does it correspond at all to the pritned word aesthetic, and, if so, how much. In class tonight, we'll discuss Neddie as one of the people trying to bring SOME of the basic principles of pre-blog belles lettres into his prose. <BR/>Lastly, if you attended this class, you would discover I have almost NO interest in morphology or taxonomy, or at least, when it comes to blogs, I pretty much throw up my hands. The genre is so new, there's no way to talk about stuff like that. It's like talking about jurisprudence in Deadwood. Everyday, they write a new handbook. Now get off my ass.

Be cool, Neddie...Academic myself -- philosopher.... Be cool, Neddie. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about authenticity -- it's a chimera, the kind of thing that a few wanker academics concern themselves with, while bundling everyone else into knots of self-doubt and paradoxes in a world of mixed "authentic" and inauthentic realities. Regardless of that crap, you were closer to the anti-chimera before this knotted post. There's nothing worse than some radio-show creature adjunct-teaching his idiosyncracies by categorizing what counts as literature or not or whatever. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully, he'll have a class of creative students who have better powers of imagination and intellectual facility than what it appears he's after. I invite them to be experimentalists, rather than categorizers.<BR/><BR/>We're with you. You're real (nothing like a chainsaw to confirm that).
