I don’t know why it is so much more powerful than writing in a notebook. But it is. The only thing I don’t like about blogging is the name, which just reeks of the high cuteness of the late nineties tech boom.

At some point, I’m confronted with the result of that background process, and it spills out onto the blog… ;-) More dictation than authorship… ;-)

But the process only seems to work when there is some sort of outlet – one of the reasons I’ve missed blogging so much…

I’ve been trying to do figure out what I want to say about Freud’s Totem and Tabu that would allow me to do exactly the same thing.
