OTish: DD's HOD Promotional Tour
pam
Press Day, I guess because those are taking place at "home".
Does anyone know if screenings like the ones listed (like,
say, oh, I dunno, maybe the one for San Francisco ;-)
are for press only?

Great link, thanks, Pam. Interesting to see how DD feels about his movie,
etc. Guess he never took any typing classes at Princeton though, hunh? ;)

Did anyone else but me find that a bit... uncomfortable?
Sort of like DD didn't have much to say, and wasn't too interested in
saying it well, either? (If you can't be bothered to do hold down the
'shift' key so your sentences start with capital letters... well...
harumph!)
I dunno, but I've not been overly impressed with the quality level of
blogs. This one included. Lots of folks in the world navel-gazing,
only now it's in the public eye and they don't show the appropriate
sense of embarrassment about it. <g>

I've wondered about this for a long time: Did his after-school job of
delivering meat have anything to do with his decision to become a
vegetarian?
I know it's not earth-shaking, but I am curious.

I've wondered that too. And ... it's almost on-topic for HOD. ;o)

He's been making these entries while on the road and at least
once while in his backyard. I get the feeling he's using a PDA
or handheld, something on which it it's more difficult than
usual to capitalize and backspace.
"you will also see that i am too lazy to capitalize and my
typing is awful"
"(you see i can capitalize when i want to.)"
"(smalleer---i like that, but i meant smaller)"
Hee. ;-D
Chimerical pointed out something I hadn't noticed before -- that
his master's thesis was typed for him by someone else whom he
thanks in his acknowledgements. I guess typing has never been
his forte. ;o) Nor, apparently, is figuring out which buttons
to push to end a voicemail. ;-D

Knowing THAT makes me feel as though I'm in good company! I looked at
the keys in typing class when I was 31, and now you know why there are
typos when I post stories here, and haven't looked them over.
The use of the snall "i"... do many people use that as a form of
humility? Sometimes authors do that when I give them feedback and they
reply.
I wish DD all the best and I already know he is intelligent. A few
spelling errors don't put me off when I get into the mood of the posts
I'm reading.

Well... since this is a writing community... I gotta say I HATE that.
It doesn't look humble to me - it looks as cutesy and self-aware as all
get-out. To me, it says, "Look at me! I'm being different!"
IMHO, it's your job as a writer to make others pay attention to the
meaning of your words. To do that, you've got to make them concentrate
on nothing else: not on your typeface, not on your "dramatic" lack of
punctuation, and not on the fact that you've decided (for whatever
reason) to call yourself "i" rather than "I."
To me, the "i" thing feels like the written equivalent of dying your
hair pink. Sure, it gets stares and attention from other kids in the
cafeteria, but it doesn't improve or distinguish your internal self -
which is where the real "different" lies.

I was always taught to mind my capitals, put others before myself, and
remember the difference between 'who' and 'whon'. 'To whom' is the
reflexive verb and correct. 'Who' decided on this is beyond my ken,
but it seems to work.
Kids type to each other and ask "What r u doing tonite", and really
people are just getting lazy. You're right about using proper case.
The thing is. some people can't use the shift key even WITH an
extended education!
I didn't attend university, but I can start seething when I see an
18-year-old short-forming and ignoring the class of good English
style. We may need to teach our grandchildren during homework time,
as things will likely switch around to more precise and correct use of
the language, and society may demand it of them.
