Ha! What a wonderful find. How To Do Research at the MIT AI Lab written in 1988.

Here’s the actual quote I came across in Writing: “Writing is a debugging process.” Oh how true. The whole blogging process is a debugging process.

But there’s so much more. This is a very good and helpful read.

Read about the Secret Paper Passing Network in Getting Connected. It’s downright Searlsian. Doc 4 years ago:

The journals we call “blogs” and the journals we call “publications” are very different in kind. Blogs are totally native to the world of ends we call the Web. Publications are native to the physical world. They are adapted to the Web, but not native to it. One way they don’t adapt is in the permanent nature of their output. Once published, it’s done. Unlike publications, blogs are subject to subsequent editing and re-editing. They also welcome edits by others. The are alive in the sense that they are, like their authors, unfinished.

And last Christmas Eve:

Blogging that goes somewhere — that moves things forward, rather than, say, echoes in whatever subjective chamber it’s uttered in — is provisional. Unfinished. Not homiletic or pontifical. Uttered from amidst the hubbub of the marketplace, rather than from behind the lectern or the pulpit.

But I digress. The MIT document is helpful in it’s own right - whether you blog or not.
