Thanks, Federico—very sorry for the long-delayed reply. I think BLDGBLOG—as you potentially surmised here in your comment—made a whole lot of sense (to me) back when I launched it, both biographically and (for me) intellectually/thematically; but, as you have likely also surmised here, that original context no longer exists. Blogging now has the feel of stuffing curls of paper into a brick wall in a meadow somewhere, an act of almost willed derangement rather than one of communication. But perhaps I’ve fallen prey to age and cynicism. Thanks for the comment and for sticking around here over the years!
