Retroid Raving got a mention in this week's Varsity - albeit a sentence in a longer article on UCT blogging - but as Paris Hilton might say, hey, any publicity's good publicity!  Or she might not, but anyway, the point is made.

But you have to wonder - about Varsity, I mean; ANYONE who wonders about Paris Hilton (unless they think it's the hotel) is a few points shy of an actual IQ - why even the mighty Gooogle can't find Varsity online.  Down for restructuring, Wikip(a)edia says; unfindable any other way.

Sort of quaint, actually: a lot like the typesetting and the layout; reminiscent of the retroidal (collective) youth here at UCT...before the days of OUTM....  Mind you, it doesn't seem to get down here to the North very reliably; all the more reason to get digital, folks!!

And aside from the excellent blogging article (Oligarcy [sic] is there; so too HumBlog and Thinking for a Thought, and our very own Call Me Cassandra), there is all sorts of worthy content.  Political stuff.  Sax Appeal stuff. Personal stuff.  Wonderful typos, like "The Rag Committee also sold boerewors roles..."...oh, how rich is that??  What contextual depth; how the use of a simple pun unlocks societal stereotypes.  Quite postmodernist in its complexity.

Or a simple spelling mistake, but hey, this is UCT....
