Thank God for intellectual hydroplaning

Before blogs existed, I had to formulate my ideas on scraps of paper and wait until I'd come to some sustainable conclusions before I could publish something marketable. Now I can just throw ideas out there and see what sticks -- the authorial equivalent of what Adam Bosworth calls 'intelligent reaction' in software development:

It makes the end result when I finally do publish something polished is of much better quality. I suppose that means Carr has a point; most blog writings are off-the-cuff, work-in-progress rather than the authoritative word on this or that. But what's wrong with that?
