So...
I wanted to live blog DiLorenzo's "How Capitalism Saved America," because of my promise to Jeff Tucker to do so. I got the book in the mail a few days ago and have read through a substantial portion of it. I'm ready to begin liveblogging, but I have a problem: how do live blog? Do I basically try to expand on the author's arguments? Do I provide the audience with an overview of the author's arguments? etc.
Political Atheists Blog
Jeffrey Tucker has been live blogging. ryanpatgray has been liveblogging and there is another fellow here live blogging. I find when I don't know, imitation is a good tactic.
On a completely random note, your post title sounds like lolspeak. "Hai! How do live blog?"
Market anarchist, Linux geek, aspiring Perl hacker, and student of the neo-Aristotelians, the classical individualist anarchists, and the Austrian school.
That's kind of the point wombatron...
lol
Ugh. I can't believe you guys are actually gonna make me try to learn how to live blog! Can't everything be handed to me on a silver spoon? I thought that since Obama has been elected, scarcity has been abolished and we can now frolic along in a world full of hope and change.
I finished ! here it is
You can see that I took a slightly different approach with each, sometimes just recounting the high points and sometimes riffing on their stuff. One thing I did was just glom onto any points that really impressed me and tried to spell out what i say as the implications.
There are as many ways to live blog as there are to think. Really it is like giving a public record of what you learn and what you are thinking.
Again, it is hard work but I can't imagine any intellectual work that is more rewarding. I really enjoyed it, although it did rather possess me completely for a time.
Publisher, Laissez-Faire Books
I'm reading Human Action right now, i will be happy to live blog it- haha just kidding
do we get free cheezeburger in socielism?
Thanks, that's kind of what I figured I'll do anyway. I'll start liveblogging soon at my blog ajwitoslawski.blogspot.com.
