[ by Charles Cameron<\/strong> — a mini-historical recap on the two topics named in the title ]
\n.<\/p>\n

Without exhaustive checking, I think I first started posting DoubleQuotes<\/strong><\/a> as such, on a site Garsett Larosse<\/strong> generously provided, on May 1st, 2004. I described them thus:<\/p>\n

DoubleQuotes consist of two quotes (or images), juxtaposed. They are intended to work in a way that I learned from haiku: as thoughts dropped into the mind-pond, not so much for their own sakes as for their concentric ripples and the interference patterns between them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It looks as though the first DQ I posted there was a couple of weeks later, on May 17th, and was titled Milk of Justice<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"DQ<\/a>\"mullahs<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I keep hoping I’ll find a way to catch Kristof<\/strong>‘s attention and get him to tell me his source for the Iranian “breasts of justice” story.<\/p>\n

** <\/p>\n

DQs in the Wild:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think I introduced the idea that there were “DQs in the Wild” in this post<\/a> with that title, in which I define the genre as that of “found objects<\/em> as they call them in the art world, relating directly to my DoubleQuotes<\/strong> format”.<\/p>\n

Some examples:<\/p>\n

\n
  • A wildlife DoubleQuote in the Wild, hat-tip Dan Trombly<\/a>\n
  • DoubleQuote in the Wild: Maurits Escher & Juan Cole<\/a>\n
  • Brilliant use of \u201cDoubleQuote in the Wild\u201d images!<\/a>\n
  • A DoubleQuote in the (Arctic) Wild<\/a>\n
  • \u201cTrust in Govt\u201d DoubleQuote from John Robb<\/a>\n
  • Black Banners in Sydney 1: a DoubleQuote in the Wild from Ardeet<\/a>\n
  • Life imitates art: the eavesdropping TV<\/a>\n
  • Via the keen eye of Caitlin Fitz Gerald<\/a>\n
  • HM Govt goes DoubleQuote in the Wild<\/a>\n
  • In which John Horgan presents a DoubleQuote<\/a>\n
  • BTW, flags<\/a>\n
  • A difficulty with DoubleQuotes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    and:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Ceylan Ozbudak notes a discrepancy from PKK [updated]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    I have to say spotting these examples, together with the various friendships most of them have sprung from, has been one of the delights of my on;line life these last few years.<\/p>\n

    **<\/p>\n

    DQs, Marc Andreessen and Adam Elkus:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Here’s my post a while back responding to an exchange between Marc and Adam in which Adam mentioned my DoubleQuotes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Some thoughts for Marc Andreessen & Adam Elkus<\/a><\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    — along with some other, related posts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Creating a web-based format for debate and deliberation: discuss?<\/a>\n
  • DoubleQuoting Andreessen with Turing<\/a>\n
  • Intriguing DoubleTweet variants & more<\/a><\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    — those last two including DQs in which Andreessen is one of those quoted — and: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Simply so much.. 01<\/a><\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    **<\/p>\n

    And that concludes this series of posts. Until the thought-clock rolls around to the same time in a new day, and this stuff begins all over again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
