In the postmodern sense, I (Jordan Hurder) am opening a dialog with a robot, a webcrawling spider that will index this page and probably rank it fairly high up on the list of results that pop up when you google “Jordan Hurder.” Also, I should apologize up front that this Jordan Hurder-laden post has nothing to do with book collecting (and as such, belongs more on the Jordan Hurder myspace blog, which is now mostly defunct). But, I do have to vent my curiosity a little bit at the fact that, according to WordPress’s site statistics for this blog, at least a few internetters a week find this page by googling “Jordan Hurder.” (Also, as a slightly hilarious aside, at least 2 people have found this blog by googling “eraser crumbs.”)
So, in the traditional sense, I am opening a dialog with a hypothetical internet user who sees this page ranked highly after searching for “Jordan Hurder.” Specifically, I am wondering who you are and why you googled me. I am not a very private person (hence the blog and my liberal use of my real name), so I don’t really mind your interest in Jordan Hurder. Also, I don’t harbor an inflated sense of self-importance that leads me to assume that you are indeed looking for me… In fact, I was downright shocked when I noticed for the first time that someone had actually found my blog by googling “Jordan Hurder.” But, in the interest of keeping this dialog open, wouldn’t you be so kind as to leave a comment identifying yourself? I realize you hold all the cards here, being the one cloaked in anonymity (although I would consider having a kickass blog about book collecting to be a card), but it’s still worth a shot.
Also, I’m really curious: did you find what you wanted to find RE: Jordan Hurder here in this blog?
looking for chance press…..
In fact, I was googling for “Luigi Serafini” & his codex.
Actually, I Googled stuffy, self important, wannabe intellectuals. My quest has concluded.
Jordan, for some reason I’m only finding your site now. Thanks for linking to AJRMS. I must get my greedy paws on Etimologiario and everything else.
Re: “eraser crumbs” — 1.9 percent of users reach my Hans Henny Jahnn site by searching the phrase “ran over by a truck and his body is torn to shreds.”
Long time no see! Hope all is well!
Jordan, I Googled you because I wanted to see samples of your poetry. We’re both in buk scene 1. Mike
