Why do we blog? Are we just in it for the Internet Millions™ or is there something more important at work? John B. has some interesting thoughts to chew on.
Karen, at Delano Wichita has some thoughts along the same lines.
The Wichita Art Museum is displaying the works of local artist Patrick Duegaw. Blog Meridian says, “Wow.”
Means he has posts at Cycling in Wichita on the funding of a new bike path AND a post at Blog Meridian on a five year old whim.
The really good news is his wife’s health is improving.
always a friend. The Blog Meridian and Cycling in Wichita founder is taking a break from producing original content for awhile. Stop by either blog and send leave a word of encouragement to John B.
Fixed the link: I had the wrong link and now I don’t. Thanks to Steph Barnard for kindly DMing me with [...]
yeah, right. The title says, “No pun intended,” but the first line? Uh huh.
John posted his completed assignment so you can evaluate it. He will be evaluating his students attempts in this same exercise.
Hey! Teacher! Make those kids write a 1,000 words about a brick. Then the teacher attempts same.
John B. enjoys the first day of class. It sounds like his students did too.
John, of Blog Meridian, is a teacher of writing. Here is an exercise he uses with his Comp I students that would benefit any writer. And you don’t have to fuss with attendance or grades either.
Blog Meridian’s name comes from the title of a Cormac McCarthy novel; Blood Meridian. John peruses the web to bring you more tributes, and sly references, to the novel.
The previously mentioned open sore that is the Wichita dating scene, may have a cure. It involves coffee.
A quick introduction to the surreal photos of Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison.
Our good friend at Blog Meridian says it’s the, “most famous song from a blaxploitation film ever written.” It’s also performed by The Ukelele Orchestra of Britain.
Which of the following words does not belong:
pickup, violence, God, Texas, psychiatric evaluation
This is obviously a trick question since these words often appear together in news stories, usually in the same sentence. Blog Meridian has the latest example.
Thomas Kincaid. Did you just wince or smile when you read that name. If you winced you will probably enjoy this Blog Meridian post.
If you smiled you might want to go to the post and check out the link to the Vanity Fair article. Then you will wince.
Does this smell funny to you?
Are you sure that’s your name?
Is this weird?
Blog Meridian answers his own question.
These are the opening lines of a recent Blog Meridian post:
What do you get when you ask people who don’t know each other if they’d be willing to touch each other and have their picture taken?
My first answer was, “2 years probation if it’s the first offense.” But there are lots of pictures that provide [...]
is more bloggers.
Blog Meridian is helping to expand the production of this vital resource by requiring his students to maintain their own blog. He would like you to read them, pick out one or two you find interesting, and comment on them.
So go, be a source of encouragement and feedback. Let your inner-professor free.
U.S. writers are ignored for the Nobel Prize for Literature. The head of the committee makes a pin headed pronouncement about why. Blog Meridian is puzzled by the pronouncement and by Max Fisher’s disagreement with the pronouncement.
Post-modernism talk ensues but it’s irony free. Now I’m confused.
John B. recommends a movie sight, ahem, unseen and does a “not so fast there skippy” (our words not his) on the “re imagining” of a classic.
Blog Meridian does some heavy lifting in the literary and ideology departments.
David Foster Wallace ended his life this weekend. Blog Meridian has some thoughts on the power of Wallace’s works.
Here he adds another post, with a quote from Wallace’s musing on Kafka and the modern mind.
Added value: This is not a local writer but it is a view of Wallace’s work through the eyes of a [...]
John B. has, kinda, seen the light concerning Mad Men. Douglas finds it well written. Main wonders when new episodes of Breaking Bad will air.
“To bleg is to write a blog entry or comment for the sole purpose of asking for something”
John B. has his virtual cup out and asks for your contributions to the academic task. Go contribute. young minds are at stake.
How else can we explain the appointment of Ta-Neshi Coates to their blog so soon after Blog Meridian recommended Ta-Neshi’s blog?
John also points to Ta-Neshi’s discussions on his less than happy feelings towards Affirmative Action and whites who “use Affirmative Action as a proxy to “resent” blacks” as worthwile reading.
