They amended for hindsight, for the ways in which human beings order and tidy and construct the story of their lives as they look back on them. Logs, in this sense, were a form of human self-correction. As you piece together a narrative that was never intended as one, it seems-and is-more truthful.

A log provided as accurate an account as could be gleaned in real time.Īs you read a log, you have the curious sense of moving backward in time as you move forward in pages-the opposite of a book. Away from land, there was usually no reliable corroboration of events apart from the crew’s own account in the middle of an expanse of blue and gray and green and in long journeys, memories always blur and facts disperse. They were designed to be as immune to faking as possible. They provided accountability to a ship’s owners and traders. They helped navigators surmise where they were and how far they had traveled and how much longer they had to stay at sea. In journeys at sea that took place before radio or radar or satellites or sonar, these logs were an indispensable source for recording what actually happened. As a ship’s voyage progressed, the course came to be marked down in a book that was called a log. By measuring the length of line used up in a set period of time, mariners could calculate the speed of their journey (the rope itself was marked by equidistant “knots” for easy measurement). The weight of the log would keep it in the same place in the water, like a provisional anchor, while the ship moved away. The consequences of this for the act of writing are still sinking in.Ī ship’s log owes its name to a small wooden board, often weighted with lead, that was for centuries attached to a line and thrown over the stern. Unlike any single piece of print journalism, its borders are extremely porous and its truth inherently transitory. It is accountable in immediate and unavoidable ways to readers and other bloggers, and linked via hypertext to continuously multiplying references and sources. It is the spontaneous expression of instant thought-impermanent beyond even the ephemera of daily journalism. This form of instant and global self-publishing, made possible by technology widely available only for the past decade or so, allows for no retroactive editing (apart from fixing minor typos or small glitches) and removes from the act of writing any considered or lengthy review.

We believe that it’s more helpful for the brand to make all the cars as Kia… We believe that Kia, as a brand, is elastic enough or flexible enough to be able to deliver a car like the Picanto, like the Stinger, like the Sorento, and it’s actually more beneficial for the brand itself." "For us, it should be Kia all over the world. In an interview with CarAdvice, Kia Chief Designer Gregory Guillaume had this to say: The "E" emblem will be limited to the Korean market exclusively, while the rest of the world will get the standard Kia badge. The new emblem reportedly "symbolizes maximized performance driving with the engine arrangement of rear-wheel drive," as translated from their website. The badge is rumored to hint at an upcoming luxury sub-brand – similar to Hyundai’s spin-off of Genesis – or even could signify an electric sub-brand. At the Seoul Motor Show this past week, the Korean automaker debuted a Stinger with a special "E" badge affixed to the front and rear bumper.
