I suppose it’s not surprising. The UB School of Informatics offers a course on blogs and blogging. The course is conducted over a blog and through blogging. There are several other classes besides this one that may not be as exclusively devoted to blogging, but still examine various aspects of them. It seems somewhat funny that blogs are getting such attention, but, truly, it seems as if blogs will change the world.
My life has been changed by the blogging impact of various reformed pastors,
Jeff Meyers,
John Barach,
Mark Horne, and more recently
Peter Leithart and
Douglas Wilson. I’ve been reading these men’s blogs for more than a year now (or since they’ve been created in the cases of the newer ones) yet not one of these men knows that I exist.
How does blogging affect family life, particularly extended family participation? It seems like most of the media attention focusing on blogs stress the potential political ramifications of blogging, with numerous examples given of bloggers in Iraq or at the Democratic National Convention. The impact must be much broader than this. What does it mean that we have turned to a form of communication that does not require careful crafting or careful reading? Blogs tend to be a much less guarded medium than others. Anyone who can read and write can have a blog. Not everyone with those same minimal qualities can get published in The New Yorker.
And so I blog.
I blog.
I blog.
The UB School of Informatics also offers a very popular course on cyber pornography.
