not to be too much of a snoot, but the characters page could use some mild spell checking.

Agreed, he was not an E.T.A. student – that’s why it took special permission for him to come into the Clipperton Suite and meet with Himself.

I believe it was said later that he was from Indiana.

I posted on the Onantiad section this week, trying to make some sense of what we know of O.N.A.N.-ite Politics. [P.S. Hope I got the coding right - if not, sorry for the href-mess.]

I love the weekly round up, and it probably doesn’t matter that much, but I don’t believe Eric Clipperton was an E.T.A. student. pg. 407 “The little Town-or-Academy-Hailed-From slot after Clipperton’s name on tournament draw-sheets just said ‘Ind.,’ presumably for ‘Independent.’ Nobody’d heard of him before or knew where he came from.”

Come to think of it my post on environmentalism, consumerism, addiction, Johnny Gentle (Famous Crooner), and the politics of hope was about Week 6 as well. I blogged more about IJ last week than I thought...

My Week 6 post was on a topic that's been getting patted around the blogs and forums a lot: "Is 'Infinite Jest' Science Fiction?"
