About The Blog Clio Speaks is the third incarnation of a blog previously known as Much Ado About Nothing and Of Ground, Or Air, Or Ought-- . You can see those old blogs here. I used to be hosted on Blogger and it still holds a very special place in my heart, but for various and sundry reasons I moved over to Diaryland in April of 2004 at the same time as the latest name change and site redesign. The name: Clio Speaks is not (not, not, NOT) a reference to Miss Cleo. Please do not expect me to be prescient. The titular Clio is the greek muse of history. Warning: Slightly Pedantic A man that I once knew said that history is "everything that has ever happened everywhere, starting now." To me history is a story. Quite literally his- (or her) story. The story of everyone who has ever lived. The story of individuals. The story of a peasant woman in rural France during the Black Death. Of a Chinese scholar studing for the Civil Service Exams. Of a generation who saw two wars and a depression. And now, of a 20-something college student in California, with little eloquence and not much to talk about beyond her scope. It's all history. We're all history. Starting now. 1:50 a.m. April 17, 2004
