Blogger, James Joyce - 0 views

    This is another link from the same man's site, but this link is for the blog he did on one of James Joyce's stories. He actually invites his readers to participate in reading Irish literature for the week and then blog about it. He says that he would then make a master copy of all the blogs. Just thought it was interesting.

    So I was searching for some blogs about James Joyce and I came across this man's blog, Mel. Talk about being a prolific reader and writer. He reads short stories all the time and posts about each one. I think it is interesting that he started his blog not really think many would read it and now he has almost 500 followers.

    Roger Ebert tweeted this link earlier and I found it especially poignant. How do we grieve or even find out when people we only know online pass away?

Ebooks the way nature intended | Enhanced Editions - 0 views

  •  
    New modes of delivering multi-media, multi-modal books (via the iPhone). I wonder if this is now dated since the advent of the iPad, or whether anything like this can really get traction if it is for a dedicated device (no matter how popular the iPhone is).

Audio Book Sales Climb In Spite Of Competition : NPR - 0 views

  •  
    I thought of us when I heard this on NPR - it's a great discussion about the value of audio book among book formats, and it raises interesting points about varying level of production quality among audio books. Did you know there's an Audio Publishing Association?  That gives out Audie Awards, the Oscar-equivalent for audio books?  Cool stuff.

Why I give stuff away | BenCrowder.net - 0 views

  •  
    Why Ben Crowder (works on HBLL site) uses Creative Commons. I think open culture is so fascinating. Dr. Burton - you should do your whole lecture on scarcity v. abundance cultures. I need to digest that again and I think it'd be really interesting to the class.

MUBI - 0 views

  •  
    A while back I blogged about wanting to find sites like Goodreads for movies and music.  I have discovered that FLIXSTER IS EVIL and should be avoided at all costs.  Mubi is kind of  a cool alternative.  It has a great design, which is fun, but its main focus is NOT the social aspect of it; it basically seems that it is trying to be a Netflix-like business plan.  But you can make reviews and lists, and it doesn't spam all your friends and coworkers.

Balderdash: Stephen Fry on English, and Pedantry - 0 views

  • Those once fashionable Frenchies designated them are Langue, language as an idea, and parole, language as utterance...
  • The structuralists: one of their number, perhaps the best known, Roland Barthes, liked to use two words jouissance and plaisir. Le plaisir du texte. The pleasure of the text. Those who think structuralism spelt or spelled death to conscious art and such bourgeois comforts as style, accomplishment and enjoyment might be surprised that the pleasure of the text, the jouissance, the juicy joy of language, was important to Roland and his followers. Only to a dullard is language a means of communication and nothing more. It would be like saying sex is a means of reproduction and no more and food a means of fuelling and no more.
  • What is considered "correct" language works very much like how Scientific theories get in vogue. When there's a Kuhnian paradigm shift - voilà, what was once wrong becomes right, and vice versa. That said, outside of the usual hunting grounds of pedants (who Fry is decrying), grammar has functions outside of being correct for the sake of being correct.
