a weblog about weblogging

a weblog about weblogging: "Before the world of the weblog was the time of the homepage. Back before we knew any better, it was the homepage that was going to transform the world. Everyone was going to have them. They were going to democratise publishing. Together we thought we were going to change the world. But we didn't.."

The most important Polish newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, started in its weekly edited section, Du�y Format, a cycle where they want to publish come excerpts of Polish blogs.





As they say in the introduction: "the Republic of blogs is a fact" and they are looking for diamonds among blogs, which are defined as "personal diaries becoming public just after being written down".

English vs Polish blogging

Marysia Cywinska-Milonas :: BLOG :: BADANIA :: WEBLOG :: RESEARCH ::: English vs Polish blogging:

"Apparently both languages are needed.



I'll try to blog in English as well as in Polish. My Polish audience is really important for me. My English blogging will be the source for my Polish posts.

I simply don't know how to find enough time to do it."



Many of the benefits of blogging are listed above in "Uses for Blogging"...other benefits include:



  • Fostering the fringe - ideas are evaluated based on merit - not on source of origin.


  • Filtering - ideas with merit are filtered through various blogs. Significant thoughts or posts receive multiple-links and spread viral-like across the blogosphere.


  • Multiple perspectives - one-sided perspectives of newspapers are replaced by passionate debates exploring virtually every facet of an idea or concept.


  • Barrier elimination - society is about barriers - actual or unspoken. For example, I don't run in the same circle as Bill Gates - a socio-economic barrier (at the absolute minimum!). In society, this generally means that I do not have the benefit of Mr. Gates' wisdom...blogging, however changes that. Opportunities now exist to hear regular thoughts from people like Ray Ozzie, Mitch Kapor, and Larry Lesig.


  • Free flow - any idea can be expressed...and accessed by any one. The process of blogging separates good ideas from poor ideas. The process itself has built in quality control - try that in traditional media!


  • Real time - discussions and interactions happen right NOW. Waiting for tomorrow's newspaper or radio program seems like an eternity compared to real time blogging.


  • Links and connections - the complexity of an information heavy society requires specialization. Yet specialization is futile if a process is not created to link specialties. Blogging serves this purpose extremely well. Disparate fields of interest and thought are brought together (and dissected) in the machinations of bloggers.

organizacja plemienna

Wydawnictwo Slowianska Duma - Wieszcz nr.1 Jednej funkcji, typowej dla organizacji panstwowej, organizacja plemienna nie pelnila. Wobec braku glebszego podzialu spoleczenstwa na klasy, wzglednie z uwagi na zupelne poczatki ewoluowaly zmierzajacej do zaznaczenia sie klas, nie mogla pelnic funkcji klasowej. Wladza plemiena sprawowan byla w imieniu i interesie calego plemienia, byla mandatariuszem woli plemienia. Nie bylo jeszcze przeciwstawienia wladzy ludowi i sprawowania wladzy w interesie klasy dominujacej i panujacej.

piąte koło u wozu

Polski WEB w Detroit-Paszporty: "Roman Śmigielski z Danii, sekretarz Europejskiej Unii Wspólnot Polonijnych, ujął relacje między Polonią i krajem w ten sposób: „Mamy ogólne odczucie, że Polonia jest traktowana przez Kraj (władze, czyli rząd i Sejm - Senat różni się tutaj od pozostałych) jako piąte koło u wozu - potrzebne tylko wtedy, gdy jedno z pozostałych kół się zepsuje (vide powodzie, akcje humanitarne itp.).” "

We may try statistics e.g. everyone in the world vote on 'something'
(e.g. fallacy, logic, pepsi) being 'good' or 'bad', and then we could
say with probability of p 'something' is good. However, personal
definition of 'good' changes over time for an individual (by
observation). If everyone retake the poll every second and we
recalculate the distribution, we could be sure with margin of
subseconds of our results. But some people may lie, so our result is
only as good as what people voted. In any case, for the interest of
correctness we may need to make statements such as "this statement is
a fallacy, fallacy is apparently bad with this probability
distribution 5 hours ago, I am at this point of the distribution, tell
me where you are in this distribution, and if you are minority, maybe
I can try peer pressure on you :)"

"goodness" itself cannot be defined

Naturalistic Fallacy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Moore argues that "goodness" is a foundational and unanalyzable property, similar to the foundational notion of "yellowness," and is not capable of being explained in terms of anything more basic. We intuitively recognize goodness when we see it, as we similarly recognize yellowness when we see it. But the notion of "goodness" itself cannot be defined.

The Camel's Nose

Get that Camel's Nose out of the Tent! they must use the tools of scholarship that have been made available to them. But they must do so remembering that many of those tools were produced, not by Bible believing scholars, but by liberal enemies of the true faith. St. Paul said, "Evil communications corrupt good manners," (1 Cor. 15)



Apostasy Now Article - Midrash: The Camel's Nose the Bedouin parable goes: if the camel is allowed to stick his nose in the tent, before long, the whole camel will be in the tent.

Cafe Poland

Welcome to Cafe Poland, Izabela!


There are 201 members, though only about 10 or so who post regularly.

There are 5 or 6 founders.



A few months ago we had a big controversy about whether to speak

Polish or English (with a smattering of other languages). We

eventually decided to go bi-lingual, even though the vast majority of

the messages are in English.

Co to jest - Polonia?

Polski WEB w Detroit-Paszporty Co to jest - Polonia?

Po pierwsze, nie wiadomo właściwie, co to ta Polonia jest. Nie ma jednolitej definicji, która przy pomocy ostrych kryteriów pozwalałaby kogoś do Polonii zaliczyć, a kogoś innego z jej szeregów wykluczyć. Intuicyjnie zaliczamy do Polonii dawnych emigrantów, którzy od lat mieszkają i pracują za granicą, niezależnie od powodów, które skłoniły ich bądź zmusiły do wyjazdu i osiedlenia się daleko od Polski. Za Polonię uznaje się także tych obywateli obcych państw, których rodzice, a nawet – dziadkowie zamieszkali z dala od kraju.

Fire the Bastards!

Fire the Bastards! by Jack Green



posing as "the reader" instead of "i" is a trick to pretend modesty

while assuming an undeserved impersonal authority he means his

opinion as a mere human being or mine or yours or anyones is

sneerable at but after "the reader" is hired by Authority, paid a few

measly bucks for a few spotty hours reading, "the reader" becomes

god? objective? full of rich status? or still the same idiot,

playing it safe
