Apologies for the blog silence of late. I've been working on a couple time-consuming projects that have severely limited my free time. So in the tradition of my "I'm sorry I haven't posted" posts, here are a few links to some interesting pieces around the web:

• Jeff Jarvis on shifting perceptions and realities of friendship in the age of online social networks.


• Larval Subjects has a good entry on Deleuze and individuation.


• On a less serious, but more depressing note, here is what others have accomplished by the time they were your age.
