A Mad Epistemographer:
My college buddy Josh, who is a lot smarter than me, has begun blogging. He’s a Ph.D. candidate in the History of Science and Technologies at Cornell and is doing his dissertation on the social history of the VCR and home video. And because of that, when we see each other, we have protracted conversations about stuff with obtuse important sounding names like “content flow” and “media physicality separation.”
No really, I’m exaggerating. I always remember our conversations for a long time afterward. it reminds me of how much I liked being in college and how I can best preserve the best part of that experience. The sutffy dorm rooms and the miasma of angst I’ll leave behind.
