Know from whence you came!
I am the sort of person who likes to research something before she starts. When it came to blogging, it was a little difficult to do that. Rebecca's essay provides a short history of blogging, and an hypothesis as to the implication and effects of blogging, both of the traditional filter-type, and the more journal-like blog. I think she has an interesting point, but I don't think blogs are going to make an impact on thinking any time soon. Which is not to say they won't have a cascade effect, or rather, that they are not part of a cascade effect which began with newsgroups and mailing lists, where individuals began talking to large (or miniscule) numbers of other individuals. But a transformation of the average individual (in their guise as member of a global society) from audience to public is a long term cultural change, and they don't happen overnight. Give it another ten or twenty years, and we'll see if we're even halfway there.

Get thee hence, woman!
It is a good thing that next week is the last week I'm working at the Archdiocese of Baltimore. They've started feeding one another. And I don't know how to resist banana nut muffins, or swedish meatballs, or brownies ...

That's not a sexy song!
Was backgroundlistening to 3WK this afternoon at work when I heard a guy sing, "be your dog." Now, at the Sith Academy, Obi-Wan and Maul are always listening to these punk bands of whom I've only vaguely heard, and never listened to. And this almost inevitably makes Maul horny, so I always assumed they were sexy songs. And one of these sexy songs was "I Want to Be Your Dog" by the Stooges. Except that it wasn't a very sexy song. I mean, if it were sung by someone with a sexy voice, and the fuzzy electronic instruments were replaced by tenor sax and bass clarinet, then it might be sexy sounding. But when The Stooges did it, it was just sort of ... punk-like. Maybe it's sexier in person.

Gone for the weekend!
That's why I didn't have any updates this weekend. I was off babysitting Thing 1 and Thing 2.

I've been working on reformatting my stories page today at work. Next step is to HTML'ize my stories. They've all been text files so far.

I really liked this weekend's Farscape. It revealed that Zhaan is a slasher. Just watch for John to play, "Pet the Luxan." You'll see what I mean.
