Nah, don't delete it in the morning.
As you say, "but I'm really more interested in people's work." I don't really care about some of the larger theoretical questions- well, yeah, sure, I do, in the long run, but the way to get there is to talk about the work, what individuals are doing with the tools, not to jump to meaning without having paid attention to what the individuals are doing. Isn't that why we were (are?) linking to our weblogs from empyre?
I want to hear my fellow panelists talk about their work, but for all I know jimpunk doesn't even speak English. Or Abe and jimpunk are the same person- a woman, mother of three kids, who stuffs envelopes for a living, in Orlando, with broadband, and stays up really late, smoking American Spirits, with the TV on all the time, mucking up Quicktime files. Her kids are always late to school. Never leaves the house. Only shops at the convenience store. Only uses bit torrented bootleg software. On and on.
Frankly, I still don't know what Anonymous was saying about how the author's location makes it into the weblog. It's not like I'm writing about the Governator, and hippies, and recycling, and gay marriage, and surfing, and crumbling highway infrastructures, and failing schools, and Hollywood gossip, and mountain biking, and... can you guess which state I'm from?
