Comments on: So much to write, so little time… http://zeroanthropology.net/2010/01/17/so-much-to-write-so-little-time/ Turning and turning in the widening gyre | The falcon cannot hear the falconer | Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold | Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world | The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere | The ceremony of innocence is drowned | The best lack all conviction, while the worst | Are full of passionate intensity. -- W.B.

This blog has been quiet for so long, that I suspected absolutely no one would even notice this post. It should be going quiet again, at least for another couple of weeks.

The comprehensive readings and list of questions in your syllabus should make for some very illuminating discussions. It looks really good and makes me wish I was a student at Concordia.

I hear you about being short on time. I took some time off from posting anything on my site…mostly because I am a little tired of the same old blog shit. As with anthropology, my feeling is that something more needs to be done, so I am looking into some ways of either changing it around or ditching it in favor of something else.

I am also trying to keep writing in other venues so that the academic style does not completely destroy my ability to state an opinion and write in a somewhat interesting way.

Lately I have been reading through more of the public anthropology work by people like Hugh Gusterson & Catherine Besteman, who I think are on to something in a certain way. Presentation of information matters. And I think that the current model of information dissemination–books, journal articles, and conferences–is going to go the way of the Commodore 64. At least I hope it does.

Anyway, good luck with the new classes and the upcoming semester.
