What is The Relay? "Relay" was a song recorded by The Who in 1971. It was released as a single the next year, but it was never appropriately placed in its correct context. That context was an ambitious science-fiction follow-up by Pete Townshend to Tommy called Lifehouse. Lifehouse was about an oppressive future where most people in the cities lived their lived encased in protective suits attached to "The Grid," a virtual world where they received all stimulation through an electronic network. Townshend in this regard was a true prophet, for "The Grid" is eerily parallel to what we now know as the Internet. This site will be my "grid," my virtual world where I can reflect on the world around me and my place in it. I hope to use this space to reflect, speculate, and pontificate. If anything, I hope it will give me a forum where I can leave my father in peace from annoying emails about the current thing that enrages me. I will be writing about my life in academia and the issues I'm involved in there, as well as my hobbies, which usually involve three things: sports, music, and politics. Enjoy.
