  Freed from both immediate motive and the insecurities of status that led many first-time bloggers to adopt a tone at once combative, hyperbolic, and self-consciously folksy (“just bloggin’”), Crain simply sets out, in stately middle-style prose, to explore and record those efflorescences of cultural life that catch his eye, a life that rapidly comes to include the act of blogging.

  Do you remember your pre-combative/hyperbolic/self-consciously folksy days? I don’t.

  

  You’re one of those little fancy lads, aren’t ya?
