I am solely responsible for all errors and boneheaded remarks\u00a0in my posts.<\/p>\n<p>Rough Type is rough type. I use this blog as a testing ground for exploring new ideas or thinking through stuff on the web or elsewhere that I find interesting or annoying. In some cases, I will develop the material here into articles or essays that will appear in more formal publications.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timswan.com\/design\/\">Tim Swan<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rough Type is an independent blog written and published by me, Nicholas Carr.\u00a0It&#8217;s mainly about technology, culture, and economics,\u00a0though it\u00a0wanders into other areas at times.
