if this becomes popular, will google adsense just return other blogs? “Like CM? You’ll love iowablog!”

either way, good luck to kottke. i could never give to CM, though. it would just go to coke and hookers. ;)

Rusty of K5 (www.kuro5hin.org) did something similar a while back. He, however, wasnt blogging himself – just managing a blogging site. I remember he collected about 50K in just under a month. I havent read much of Kottke yet, but I would definitely support Chapati Mystery. You have more than blogging potential though. You could write a book. In that case being a tenured prof might add to it’s perceived value, though it is by no means an essential thing.

Also don’t you enjoy research? Would not being at an academic institution hurt access to research?

Do you enjoy teaching?

I love research. And I enjoy writing [big surprise there]. Being at a Research I institute will obviously be great. But other than that, there is always the summer – sabbatical – stuff.
Teaching. I haven’t decided about that yet.
