Andy Ihnatko's YellowText covers the author's attraction to the magnetic prose of Edward Gibbons and Jonathan Edwards, two very different wordsmiths. I can't help but love a technology pundit who loves Gibbons and understands what the difference between a good history teacher and an uninspired history teacher can be.
Some time ago I declared Andy to be a blogrodyte for the lack of trackbacks on Yellowtext. I have since reconsidered that opinion. Andy is a neanderthal; an earlier and more primitive cousin of the line of bloggy evolution to which I belong and which coexists in the same virtual geography that I inhabit. As I am not a whig historian, I do not attach any moral value judgments to evolutionary complexity or chronology. Neanderthals are cool, and we're richer for knowing of them...
Still, Andy needs to implement Trackbacks. Yeah, apparently, I'm still a punker outer. :)
