You are already articulating a lot of the anxieties and satisfactions about blogging that I've come to after three plus years of it. <BR/><BR/>I just switched to a psedonymous blog and am negotiating many of these issues: family, colleagues, students, other bloggers.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, stop on by my place sometime.

I second everything Dr. V says--and, as you know from my own blog, I can't say enough good things about the academic blogosphere and the support that it offers. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to everything that you have to add to the conversation.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-1162763812716378252006-11-05T16:56:00.000-05:002006-11-05T16:56:00.000-05:00TR,I like your blog too.

I also agree about there being too few 'senior people' blogs (I'm a tenured Associate).<BR/><BR/>There is one odd phenomenon that I have observed though that you might think about. There is at least one blog I know where someone junior pretends to be senior! The advice they hand out is often laughable. This is part of the downside of blog anonymity.<BR/><BR/>Maybe senior people should put together a 'senior commonroom' as they have at Brit institutions?<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, keep up the good work. Drop by my place some time. I'll keep looking in here too.<BR/><BR/>The CPThe Combat Philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533397644493139591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-1162757801873987932006-11-05T15:16:00.000-05:002006-11-05T15:16:00.000-05:00Hi Tenured Radical.Oh my goodness I'm *blushing*. ...Hi Tenured Radical.<BR/><BR/>Oh my goodness I'm *blushing*. I don't think I've ever been anyone's hero before! That's awesome!<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the blog world. It's good to hear from a tenured voice -- they're fewer and farther between than the asst. profs. and grad students. And I'm both glad and intrigued by the fact that you chose to go psuedonymous, since often the tenured people don't feel the need to do so. I think you're absolutely right when you write:<BR/><BR/><I>In the meantime, I have discovered a new community of intellectuals who don't work with me at Zenith, and who aren't going to read my scholarship to decide whether I'm smart enough to live.</I><BR/><BR/>That certainly happens whether you're anonymous or not -- and one of the best reasons for blogging -- but anonymity sometimes makes that even more true, since no one assesses your blog by who you are or comes to it because of the work you've written outside of the blog, but rather, they read based on the quality of the blog writing itself.<BR/><BR/>And I love your blog already. I think you're absolutely right that we need more fun in the academy. And I second New Kid -- Extravaganza sounds awesome.<BR/><BR/>By the ways, I just sent you an e-mail in response to yours to me. And now I'm going to add you to my blogroll!Dr. Viragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960384082670286328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-1162748786527678492006-11-05T12:46:00.000-05:002006-11-05T12:46:00.000-05:00Extravagenza sounds amazing.
