After Blogs: Metalworking
Speaking of blogs, zeitgeist longboard surfer, Douglas Coupland is back with a new novel called Eleanor Rigby and he has something to say about everybody's favorite new medium. Here he is talking with Nerve's Emily Mead:
Why don't you blog?
Back in '91 or '92, I kept a diary, but I realized I was doing my life in this modular, paragraph-y way, thinking "Is this a diary entry or not?" I'd end up deleting all these big chunks of life when their only crime was that they weren't bloggable. Also, I type with two fingers—I took metalwork instead of typing.
So what's bloggable, then? When you bump into someone from high school and they weigh two hundred pounds.
