differences that make a difference
Glimpse
Thought you all might find my non-Ning blog of interest: check out Glimpse.
http://glimpse.blogspot.com/
I started it in part as an attempt to recreate some of the whimsical sense of the original Glimpse, a periodical published by the International Society for General Semantics back in the 80s. Jeremy Klein has told me several stories about the work he and Russ Joiner did to get issues out: manual paste up, xerox-reducing illustrations from uncopyrighted Eastern European cartoons, reading every offbeat newspaper they could find to get inspiration for articles.
Glimpse hasn't come close to matching the sense of the original, but I think for a few years there, I gathered and commented on some worthwhile reading material.
Excerpts from the blog appeared in ETC a few years back, but more recently, life had gotten kind of intense and I have tended to choose other activities over finding cool language-related Internet stories for this blog. However, if you haven't seen it at all, you might find some good stuff in the archives from back when I did take the time to keep it up to date.
Who knows, maybe now that I have escapes the event horizon of the ETC time-sink, I'll feel more like blogging to Glimpse again.
Enjoy!
