We are pleased to announce the formation of the Boles Blogs Network! Now you can read a unified worldview with diverse truths and indisputable facts as we stretch our Urban Semiotic mandate into a wider web of ideas. We also removed the “David W. Boles” part of the official title of all the network blogs to better serve our new, greater, mandate of inclusion.
If you write words for a paper page or an electronic interface, you are cursed by the medium of publication.
Hardcopy has a limited life and is stuck in stasis. You might get paid and you might not. It costs a lot of money to print, distribute and manage paper.
Electronic publication is fleeting and febrile. You likely will not be paid. Ever. You can, however, move with the wind, revise and fix at will, and have others scrape the wealth from you in illegal republication.
One medium promise eternity while the other guarantees death.
Which is the better devil?

When I announce big plans like that people in my house run for cover because they know from past experience blood will be likely spilt, usually mine, and tears of frustration will flow, always mine. The run-for-cover gang were right.
