I know what he means ...

... In Praise of Online Obscurity.

... this site (Chekhov's Mistress/BudParr.com, i.e. my personal site) is going through an upheaval, so this is an issue I'm thinking about as I do that. Do I go along with the flow, or shoot for obscurity. Do I pick a topic and stay with it, do I write about what comes to mind?


Blogs are almost by definition works in progress. They are sort of where the essay was right after Montaigne invented the form. No one quite knows what direction they will take. But they are headed somewhere. And there is more life in them than there is, say, in newspapers.
