How...Also too lazy to sign in and get a username... However due to the timing (late as always), and the length (rather brief due to lack of time), I'm sure that you can figure out who this one is as well. I just want you to know that I will be reading and I didn't just dismiss the fact that you are now blogging as some mindless net drivel that any other berk would just throw out there into the www.multiverse. I am interested to see if you can translate your journal entries into something that the masses can read. Not all of us are fluent in Jim-ese, you know. Of course, just as I have not seen "The Aviator" yet, i have not read all of your postings yet. But I will in good time. And I do plan to comment. Happy blogging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281049585548508474.post-88584642072629336952008-01-04T21:17:00.000-06:002008-01-04T21:17:00.000-06:00Whooo am I? Whoooo is the anonymous poster? Whoooo...Whooo am I? Whoooo is the anonymous poster? Whoooo is too lazy to bother signing in and getting a password?<BR/><BR/>When you put it that way, it's pretty obvious, really.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, isn't living in the future neat? You may not realize it, but there was a time when sending several pages of text from one end of the country to the other and then back again and then back AGAIN and then across town would have taken, as people of that age would have said, a frickin' long time. Not so much anymore. Thank God for the heartless machines that enslave--uh, make our lives easier. Yes. Thank God for them. <BR/><BR/>The blog looks good so far, though it didn't load the first time I clicked on the link--had to refresh, then it showed up fine. Probably a problem on my end. Also, there are several black, empty boxes at the ends of sentences; not sure if those are supposed to be there or not. I'm thinking not. Perhaps there's a symbol or some sort of command that doesn't get translated into my browser or my OS or something. Or perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about. That seems likely.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested in seeing how this little experiment goes--I admit I have trouble imagining you having enough time to actually go through all your old journals and type up cross-referenced, indexed transcriptions of all their interesting bits, but if you can actually do it, we're all the richer for it. Let's just see how long you can keep it up, eh?<BR/><BR/>One last point of constructive criticism: self-deprecating humor in blogs has been done, baby. I understand the need to avoid obvious signs of arrogance or self-importance, especially in as self-aggrandizing a form as the personal, public weblog, but when every single other blogger on the planet is affecting the same tone it gets old quick. We'll just trust you not to think you're better than us (or if you do, keep it damn well to yourself, thanks) and you can leave the condemnations of your personal intellectual worth as implicit. That's my two cents, anyway--and a damn fine two cents it is. No false modesty here, kids. I'm a white-hot fireball of constructive criticizin' and y'all best stand down outta my way. Boo-yah.<BR/><BR/>I'll stop now. You're welcome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
