  • Hard News: The best blogger there never was,

    Am just milking my last month of being officially young and foolish :-)

    But yes, it was Hyde himself who dismissed his 40-something affair as a youthful indiscretion ... while leading the charge against Bill Clinton for similarly youthful and foolish activities. A classic of the genre.

    Umm... how young? Does anyone know how old he was 26 years ago? I'm getting curious as to how old you have to be to get a lenient judgement.

    He's probably referring to that misty never-never when he was, in the famous words of Republican congressman Henry Hyde (no relation), "young and foolish."

    i.e. anywhere up to the age of 41.

  • Southerly: Refugee Status,

    I was about to say exactly the same thing. Even so, smashing a full bottle of champers, just because? So Christchurch.

    Seismotypography? [or does that just sound like shaky typesetting?] :-)

    P'raps that refers to this controversial T-shirt (no longer in production?)

  • Busytown: The art of seismography,

    Isabel, this phrase made me shudder:

    and when we peered outside there was a chimney across our driveway

    It has the quotidian surreality of a fairy tale.

    For ChrisW, on aftershocks, this just in from Adrienne Rewi: there have been over 556 aftershocks in 9 days. I'm too stunned to do the math!

    Steve, I'll see your <pendant> and raise it (a <pennant>?). Isabel is right: -logy is talking, -graphy is writing. But we do write in a very talkative way, so Megan is maybe even righter:

    seismological epistolarity

    Nice! I did toy with "seismological autobiography", but I think epistolarity captures the vernacular, dialogic nature of it all.

    The New Seismographers

    Dammit, Sam, where were you when I was struggling to come up with the perfect title this morning?

  • Busytown: The shakes,

    But am I alone in also wanting to see the above frivolous post?

    I bumped it down the queue a bit, but be assured it's on the way :-) Along with a couple of book-related posts...

  • Hard News: Blended!,

    I've been meaning to, honest, but Matt had a couple of things he wanted to nail before I showed it to y'all.

    No worries. Excited to see it. Vamping is fun, revamping even more so :-)

    Previews/test-drives for PA writers? And/or are you taking suggestions?
