How delightful

Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

To find that I suck at weblogging. I post when I want, on what I want, do not have a photo, sometimes have an ‘about me’, and sometimes don’t and I think we can safely say that I’ve lost employment opportunity because of what I write. More than once, most likely.

My titles are bizarre, I don’t point out my ‘hits’, I rarely link to my old stories, and sometimes I use full names and sometimes I don’t. I also don’t use ‘permalink’ to mark same, and though I do have my own domain, I find Nielsen’s comment, Having a weblog address ending in blogspot.com, typepad.com, etc. will soon be the equivalent of having an @aol.com email address or a Geocities website: the mark of a naïve beginner who shouldn’t be taken too seriously, to be elitist and foolish, considering that there are many, many weblogs on Blogspot much more popular than his. Personally, I find ’splogs’ to be a refreshingly honest counter-point to this crap.
