I’m not sure he’s ready for this, but I’ve added Nick’s newly restyled photoblog to ‘other weblogs’. We’ve been working on our blogs together, supporting and encouraging one another through the whole process from the beginning, and all the way through. I can’t imagine that mine would even exist if not for Nick, so be a pal and check that shit out.
I got the comment cookies to work! This is awesome-ness! I’m stoked! Now you won’t have to retype your personal info into the Comments sections every time you leave a comment, unless you want to, of course. You’re still free to reject my cookies, but, I mean, huh, come on, I mean like, why WOULD you?
These are my cookies we’re talking about.
With chunks of Valhrona the size of your fist.
The best part is that now I can start thinking about what kinds of customization options I can include, like adjustable font size, ’skins’, and other such …
Maybe we should consider “using the Internet” to be something that requires licensing by means of a nominal test, like citizenship or driving.
Maybe we could even go so far as to discuss the possibility of making “the Internet” a separate sovereignty, like a nation, or maybe corporation.
We just need a better way to deal with all the changes and problems the Internet has created and is creating. Governmental legislative bodies are too slow to act, and corporations are either also too slow, or else they’re just simply not as motivated by the interests of the public welfare as they …
I’ve read some Bill McKibben before: The Age of Missing Information was a great quick little read comparing a day spent in the wilderness to a day spent surfing a few hundred random cable stations. It wasn’t quite what I expected, and that was a good thing, because I expected a pretty superficial black-and-white treatment, you know, something along the lines of “Nature good, tv bad.” Instead, McKibben, then a new player among millennial ecollectuals, proved he might continue to have worthwhile things to think about, and interesting ways to say them.

then my head
then eyes
and mouth
and last
me.
and i become that black swarm of shadow
