Vicissitudes of Fame
The first time I've ever seen a paper with my name
in the title, and they manage to get the spelling wrong. Now I know how Zbigniew Brzezinski must have felt all the time.
Meanwhile, I seem to have attracted almost a hundred visitors on my first blogday. This internet thing, as others have already noticed, just might catch on. But I don't know how to tell where people come from, or which pages are linking to me; I think blogspot won't reveal this information unless I pay them money.
[Update: Now I know how to find who's linking where. It's all at
Technorati.com, but you probably knew that. Thanks to Henry Farrell of
Crooked Timber for the tip. (I still think it takes cash to figure out which visitors came from where.)]
