Bill Stewart was the dog that bit me:
Anybody care to cast a lot for their picks of Net/new media written in the spirit of gentil intellection?
John's writing may lead to some speculation about whether he did a little too much James Joyce in the 60s, but it's worth reading a much higher fraction of the time than most Internet writers, and when he's making stuff up it's almost always creative and interesting.
On the other hand, it's less clear whether *you're* asking about people who write in a gently intellectual spirit or whether you're talking about goyish intellectuals here...
Touche. I do not aspire beyond my station, Bill. I meant media (whatever form) that is: thought-provoking, rather than *just* factual, written for a reasonably broad audience.... First Monday usually makes me ponder on something. ~Aimee
