Discussing Interesting Things...

The following twitteration reminds me of discussions we used to have about The Valve behind the scenes:
@scott_bot @mljockers But the tech really IS interesting, no? And so, how I came to love coding R is a conversational natural.

@scott_bot @mljockers everyone's interested in tech, but perhaps not in what everyone else is doing w/ it; so discuss the tech.

The Valve, as some of you know, was a group blog around and about literature. But we had a tough time discussing literary texts, though some of our readers wanted us to and would ask us to. I figured the problem was that, although we were all interested in literature, out specific interests in texts were different. While we could all talk some kind of theory, we weren't generally prepared to talk about one antoher's favorite texts. So, we defaulted to theory.
