I know it works in practice but does it work in theory?

Look, look. This is me. Read this piece in the Guardian that I found last week.

For more than a year I’ve been feeling an inadequate blogger because although I shout at the radio every morning about some perceived outrage or the other, I then get on and out and off to work and the moment to hammer out three lines of ill-considered annoyance about Peter Mandelson or Oxbridge entrance or bankers has passed.

But some thoughts stay and I mull them over, then try to find a reference if I can. I can’t do the profligate three lines of the most well know bloggers – who seem to have lives that allow them a lot of time to spend at their computers so they can post two or three times a day. I’ve been perfectly happy to have a sporadic readership of about 6 and I thank you for being one of them; now I feel vindicated.

And now I know -not lazy, just slow

    As one of your 6 readers 🙂 I want to thank you for this entry. Jon Henley is absolutely right. When I read this, I had to think about French philosopher Paul Virilo and his spooky theory of “dromology”. He defines societies by looking @ their attitude towards speed. (“The speed of light does not merely transform the world. It becomes the world. Globalisation is the speed of light.”) No thank you, I stuck with the speed of sound, that’s nicer and more human!
    Happy Xmas to all the “slow” people in the Net, I presume you still know its value…
