The Blogora’s Jim Aune writes of
\njoining the CCCC<\/a>, and in
\ndoing so, he refers to a blog "they’ve" started, aptly titled
\nCCCC<\/a>. I saw Jim’s entry
\nyesterday and hurried across the a-href to see the blog to which he
\nreferred. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is, uh, something to see? <\/p>\n

The 14+ subscription buttons are especially peculiar, considering that the
\nblog sports just two entries–one from September and one from October, perfectly
\ntimed for the NCTE Convention, I suppose. And in November, it appears to
\nhave given out–kaput. I don’t know what to make of it. It’s the sort of oddity
\nI’m tempted to stare at for a few minutes to see whether it breathes or blinks.
\nThis<\/i> is the CCCC blog? <\/p>\n

Now I feel low for taking shots at it, for poking fun. Still, it’s
\nstriking. Where did it come from? Why the blogspot ethos? The footer, too,
\nis surprising with its official-seeming protect-repel bureaucratic
\ncontradiction–a copyright paradox as it both taketh and giveth away (Ours? Not
\nours? Yes!):<\/p>\n

And the most recent entry, the one from October, goes on about membership.
\nMembership. I’m for<\/i> membership, and I’m a member. But sad as I am to say
\nit, this is the blog of an organization on vacation. A real puzzler, this one.
