Ian Bogost's blog. Read about object-oriented ontology. (Thanks for the recommendation, Jamie Zigelbaum.)

Socrates' fear of writing, as explained in Phaedrus. (This came up in a conversation I had about our fear of new technology--particularly technology which attempts to record everything, such as Google Glass.)

More on banning laptops in the classroom

#5.
Even if you don't agree, worth reading: Jerry Saltz on new abstract painting. Mentions the work of Lucien Smith, Oscar Murillo, Josh Smith, Leo Gabin, and David Ostrowski, among others.
