Blockquote
A NOTEBOOK · EMPHASIS MINE
The block quotation is a typographic device used to designate an extended quoted passage. A block quote appears as its own verical unit and is distinguished from surrounding text through indentation, italics, type size, or some combination of these. The <blockquote> tag dates to the first draft of HTML.
Blockquote.org is the weblog of Justin Skolnick.
In time all quotations will be properly documented, because it matters.
Application
This morning I shipped a document proposing to set the course of my next three years. One month and a half from the go ahead to release the wheel, so long as I keep a foot on the gas. Reverse cruise control. My plans meanwhile:
1) Nap.
2) All this theory and I plow through fiction like sand. But you all who know me know I won’t stop, it’ll last maybe two paperbacks before I’m back collecting notes on the Reformation and Deconstruction and all. Make me read Faulkner again, hold me to it.
3) Maybe I’ll ask a girl out. Been awhile.
4) Coffee, the Times in print, chair in a street facing window.
5) I’m gonna get buzzed on good beer and I’m gonna do it more than once. Tonight whatever the Handlebar’s got on tap, then I owe myself a four pack of Bourbon County Stout, then we’ll see.
Wish me luck.
