For no particular reason (or value to society for that matter), here’s a few thoughts that have popped into my head during the past week . . . .
- I find it kind of funny (at first glance) when a person apologizes over his/her lack of recent blog posts, or the self-admitted poor quality of posts. One could look at it as arrogance. I tend to look at it at those posts (or, now tweets) as the person being realistic that he/she does have a level of regular readers (me, for instance), and maintains a passion and sense of pride over the quality of his/her work.
- I think all bloggers should have a brief audio recording of their voice to help personalize their blog(s). Am I going to do it? Naaaaa. I stutter at times and think I sound too nasally when I hear a recording of my voice. I have talked with Kami, Ike, Phil, the BC part of BC/AC, Peter, and I think that’s it. (Did I miss anyone?) So, on some level, I feel as if I know them better than other bloggers.
- Badges?! Badges?! We don’t need no stinkin’ badges! (Okay, it’s not an exact quote, but close.) . . . . in agreement with Phil’s post on Tim O’Reilly’s draft of a bloggers’ code of conduct.
- Why do thaw and dethaw mean the same? I guess for the same reason that flammable and inflammable do?
- And, inspired by a bit of Twittering back and forth with Andrea Weckerle (plus a comment from Ike Piggot): When will business cards be able to include a small screen or an audio chip with speaker to allow them to offer the card holder a personal glimse into the name on the card?
You may now rejoin your regularly-scheduled life, already in progress.
