Recently I've been inspired by a few other bloggers zefrank
and stretchdaily and when w illiam gibson started blogging again
and Bruce Sterling , so I've felt a need to blog again.

Another thing that's got me thinking more about computers/web life
lately is getting the monthly reports on hits to my site.

The blog entry on vertical gardening , the song called jokes , and the medical research on
ms and ldn   and the panoramic video camera I invented and put up a movie from, get all the hits. I think that's cool. I'm inspired by the fact that what people are interested in on my site also interests me. If the things that got the most hits were things that I hate (as has been the case in the past) I'd just use it as depression fodder.

such is the nature of blogging that it captures many moods. After the big crash of 2001
many high tech people I know started blogging while unemployed. That was the first I became
aware of it. This was blogging as therapy and I suppose my first blogging in 2003 would fall into
that category.

now I don't know....

I always thought that multimedia blogging would evolve, that's why I like zefrank's site so much. His
video stuff really makes me laugh, and he clearly is developing some pretty cool chops as a programmer. His
art and writing are both good too, so I like the kind of renaissance nature of his discipline.

dunno. time passes. we live on. events unfold. decisions are made. aesthetics are followed. dreams are lived out.
