The Philodoxer (Columns)

My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them—as steps—to climb up beyond them.... He must transcend these propositions, and then he will see the world aright. — Ludwig Wittgenstein

Columns and Blogs

I've always felt comfortable with the idea of a column, but for years I was against the concept of a blog. That is until, like sushi, I actually sat my ass down and tried it.

My initial impression of blogs was that they were basically public diaries and an exercise in egoism, and maybe that's still true. But I found out they can also be much more. I've since had to revise my opinion completely and admit that they're one of the best tools available to writers.

Check out these gems for some smart and funny discussion.
