Printing blogs on paper wasn't such a hot idea:
Mr. Karp, the founder of The Printed Blog, a Chicago start-up that we wrote about early this year, announced Wednesday that he would stop publishing the paper because he had run out of money and could not raise enough additional capital.
...
His idea was to take free articles and pictures from blogs, with their permission, and print them on 11-by-17-inch pieces of paper. Then he sold ads to local businesses and distributed the papers at train stations in Chicago and San Francisco. Though he still had to spend money on paper, ink and delivery people, he tried to cut costs by putting commercial printers in the homes of the delivery workers.
As Egon Spengler said in Ghostbusters, "Print is dead."
That was way back in 1984.
Still, it's not quite the same thing as taking blog postings and printing them out. My book was conceived as a book, a very long essay, and not as a series of blog postings.
