Deeply Deep

“Remember your epiphanies on green oval leaves, deeply deep, copies to be sent if you died to all the great libraries of the world, including Alexandria?”

— James Joyce, Ulysses, “Proteus”

James Joyce may or may not have been a saint.  Today is, accordingly, either his feast day or his secular day of remembrance.

With Joyce in mind, I surfed the Heckler & Coch weblog archives this afternoon and found a link to a page that credits

“Jørn Barger, an amateur
  James Joyce scholar….”

with the first use of the term “weblog” in its current sense.

Seeking more on Barger and Joyce, I found that Barger has gone into seclusion and that his Joyce website is no longer online.

Google has a cache of his Joyce portal, however, and the portal and its sub-pages are also available at the Internet Archive Wayback Machine:

These pages from Barger’s labor of love, though neither green nor oval, may serve as this year’s Joyce memorial.
