MGK says that “blogs seem to present themselves as a documentary genre.” A documentary of what? While typing that last sentence, I first typed “codumentary” – Freudian slip? Exactly what sort of document is this? I had another weblog going elsewhere, and moved primary activity to here, thinking that it feels better on many levels – but there’ve been no personal posts. It seems frivolous and unprofessional to talk about spring and my awe at having such generous friends. Would it be better to discuss the generosity of a Perseus Project staff member, who spent two hours talking to me about semantic encoding today?
What do you know about me, from this? What do you want to know?

I know I feel a little intimidated by the idea of leaving a comment on this web log, whereas on the other I wouldn’t have hesitated.
