"When philosophy paints its grey in grey then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy's grey in grey it cannot be rejuvenated but only understood. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of dusk." -- G.W.F. Hegel, 'Preface', Philosophy of Right.

'Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainity and agitation distinquish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones ... All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned.' Marx

This is a bit of the beaten track for philosophy.com but I find it interesting. Work blogs.

The Guardian article says:

"The vast majority of blogs are background static to all but the friends and family of their creators, but it is becoming increasingly possible to find blogs that give unique insights into the working life of the authors.

Many "bloggers" write openly about their work, sometimes with approval from their employer."

Background static/noise huh. That is the view of the established media. Or it is vanity publishing. More like disruptive innovation.

Well, there are many different kinds of works blogs. Academics run them, journalists them, those involved in public policy run them and often with approval of their employers. The blogs do not need to be about work--they can be on other issues and be informed by work.

Why raise it? Well it makes a welcome change from what Matt has called "the collective mastication of the on-going Left-Right bitch-fest that so poisons the Australian blogosphere."

The bitch fest bores me.

"The bitch fest bores me."

I'll say. Only I'm thinking of the Left-Right bitchfest in the American blogosphere.
