...The One-Minute Pundit

"Mobisodes", "blooks" -- just because you news hacks can invent words doesn't mean you SHOULD.

The Professor won't like this:

Another benefit of publishing blooks on paper? Archiving. Warren Meyer, of Paradise Valley, Ariz., first printed out the two volumes -- 400 pages each -- of his blog entries last November as a Christmas gift for his dad, who is 83.

"He refuses to do anything online," says Meyer, who has been blogging for more than two years. Meyer has also kept a copy of his blook, based on Coyoteblog.com, discussing environmental problems, for himself: "Everything I've ever written is online," he says. "I wanted to archive my writing, and I don't trust that electronic media is a good archiving tool, because standards and technology change so much." While few people now use floppy disks, paper is here to stay.


We can't take this lying down, Prof -- DIGITAL'S FOREVER!

Pffffffffffffffffft!
