you're damned fucking right

"Blog" and "moblog" are not transparent words. "Televisor" was not as good a term as "television" or "television set", and so it went away. I expect the same to happen to "moblog", if not "blog", in ten years. Because they're geek words. They're codemonkey words. (I can hear Cory Doctorow yelling, "l337, damnit!") They are crap, artificial, ugly kludges of words.

Where did Ellis say this? Is there a page out there of Ellis' rants that -wasn't- HTML coded by a bunch of horribly angry five year olds on illegal prescription drugs?

One of his recent Bad Signals. SUBSCIRBE (mailto:badsignal-subscribe@lists.flirble.org) I don't think they're archived on the Web, but perhaps flirble has them archived somewhere else.

Also, you should buy a copy of "Come In Alone", which is a collection of a year of rants about the comics industry.
