Talking about Blogging

I spent two hours yesterday with the seminar at the Graduate Center at CUNY. They invited me to discuss my blog with the members of the seminar: faculty members and graduate students. It was most interesting and useful for me as it forced me to think and talk about blogging itself. I avoid doing that on my own lest I descend into taking seriously what I do: but it made me think about many things regarding blogging and such. Of course, I characteristically encountered people telling me that I come across differently in person than through my blog. I told them I get that often: people often tell me that I seem less angry in person. And some people say that as a compliment, and others (often Middle Easterners) say it as a criticism. I was asked whether I will always blog. That was scary.
