Blogging backlog
Saturday, September 18th, 2004 10:51 amIt's a sign of how messy my life is that I even have uncompleted to-do lists for blogging. Here are some things I would like to write about:
- George Lakoff's state-as-nurturing-parent image and why I still can't be a liberal (in the American sense);
- My ongoing conflicted relationship with evolutionary psychology;
- Related to this, some revisionist observations on feminism and domestic politics;
- The resurgence of collective guilt, and more reasons why I can't be an American-style liberal;
- Why American liberals are generally nice people (and certainly much nicer than conservatives) and I should stop being so mean to them;
- Why life without nicotine seems not to be worth living;
- Why items in lists should end with semi-colons, except for this one.

take this advice from a former cross country runner, repeated quitter, and current smoker. hehe

Date: 2004-09-18 09:09 am (UTC)Isn't "American liberal" a contradiction in terms these days? If you're anywhere to the left of (say) Lyndon B. Johnson, you're a radical by American standards these days. Sad but true.

Date: 2004-09-18 10:51 am (UTC)I found actual blogging an effective counter-measure against this sort of backlog: when I found something worthy, I would /at least/ hit my "blog this!" link and register the site's URL, title, and then add a few words ... minimum.
So I had, in effect, at least a set of elite bookmarks.
May I kindly request

Date: 2004-09-18 09:04 pm (UTC)Uhh ... I'd call it a journal, making the distinction by the way it operates (though extensions and such have maybe blurred those lines).
What I remember from blogger.com, even years ago, was that one click would insert all sorts of things into the pop-up, so that with nothing but a couple of mouse clicks at least a fully operational link would be published to the blog.
And LJ's comment system is by far superior to anything I've seen on other blogs. (Again, extensions and developments may have blurred this.)
