Displacement

We had almost no internet at Tinderbox Weekend. The hotel has switched Internet providers and had also installed new management software. This meant that I received the Racing News every morning – you’d think someone would wonder why an American computer scientists ordered that paper – and could neither post nor email.

As a result, these posts are displaced in time. But of course they would be displaced in time anyway. In any case, this sort of re/mediation is an interesting issue in weblogs as it always was in published journals. I can go back and edit what happened, knowing what happened later.
