Weblog portfolios are due soon, so there’s more activity than usual on my students’ weblogs. Moira mentioned that fellow student Evan Reynolds had used the term “drive-by blogging” to describe the sudden rush of blog entries that fill in the gaps and fulfill the requrements of the weblog portfolio assignment. That was a new one to me.

My students are generally very civil to each other — even when they tweak each other via their weblogs, they are good natured about it.
I guess junk food is probably just as American as the gun culture, so you make a good suggestion. Maybe their frustration level, as we approach midterm crunch time, makes the more violent image more attractive to them.
The connotations to drive-by blogging are violent – I see bloggers shooting each other down with vicious criticism and hefty, nasty linking. Wouldn’t drive-through blogging be a better image of getting what you need cheap and fast, without really immersing yourself in the issue?
