"That's another takeaway. Blogs are, as Andrew Orlowski pointed out, suddenly passé. Never mind that more people are doing it every day.

Whatever. I've gotta crash."

Doc's doing a great job giving his view of SXSW and I guess it's my job as a reporter to put together his posts into a story. But Doc does such a good job himself. It's just his blog...oh wait, all blogs...make reading the story really hard. Because for something like what Doc is doing, unless you are following it as it happens during the day, then you are catching up at the end of the day and you want to read it like a story instead of scrolling down to the bottom then reading down then scrolling up past that entry to the next entry then reading down then scrolling up past that entry....blog readers probably get the picture. That puts us back to my job as reporter...Do I put all the pieces (links) together for you to tell the story in a chronilogical way? Probably not because to tell the story of Doc's Day at SXSW I should probably get beyond when he's writing and give my view of what he's learning.

Anyway, I ramble. Point: I read the posts chronologically to help me share the experience.

Maybe there is some sort of tool to allow pasting together a page or story, in any order desired, from individual posts. Individual RSS elements. Would make it easy to build an outline for a story.

I also second the "I gotta crash" part.

A walk that was a stroll. A story to be told. Dad and boy as the sun set.
