Announcing Panopticonic, Carceral Nation and Memeingful

The Boles Blogs Network is delighted to announce the creation of three new blogs for your reading pleasure that focus on news, commentary and analysis of three important themes that run throughout this Urban Semiotic blog.  The first — Panopticonic — concerns us watching those watching us.  Jeremy Bentham invented the idea of a “panopticon” in 1787:

A circular prison with cells arranged around a central well, from which
inmates can be observed at all times. Also in extended use.

Today, Panopticonic helps us fight back against the decay of personal privacy under the eyeing thumb of those that surveil us on a daily basis.

Blogging the Bodily Fluids Stream

Today, I woke up.

  • Ten minutes later I did a little Shaker peeing and splashed some of that good yellow stuff on the toilet seat. 
  • Two minutes after that, I blew my nose and threw the tissue in the wastebasket near the toilet I fouled. 
  • 30 seconds later, I cried a little bit because of the loss of my pee stream aim because I am getting older. 
  • Three minutes later, I wiped the crying snot on my shirtsleeve.
