On another note, Andy Baio pointed out that in fact the original image was true, not false as reported here. The article has been changed to reflect that.

I originally subscribed to this blog because of the BBS documentary, which I thought was pretty awesome because it was a world that I knew about that no one else I knew about was into. I was that kid, basically 2-3 years younger than everyone else. Anyway, so reading the blog has its ups and down moments. There are times when its filler, or times when the thoughts are compressed into a surprising number of words. It’s a blog though, which is pretty much the point of them.

But there are a few that really make it worth while. The latest KoW post anyway made me realize some of the directorial choices and thought processes behind the BBS doc that I hadn’t ever thought of before. I am certainly glad that I read that, because it makes me not only like when I already liked more, but a better understanding. This paragraph is from the from virtues-outweighing-the-annoyances department.

What would be great would be if you could fix the feed so that us google reader subscribers get proper formatting instead of one massive colosseum of text.

Shii: Yeah, you can just imagine Thomas Alva Edison, Phil Katz and the referred reddit user handjobbing each other in high heavens; – no reason to think that this kind of behaviour is [new] news, and it’s not exactly an expensive weapon-calibre to reload, either. – (Welcome to the all-mighty internets, my good man..)

I don’t know if you really know somebody for 15 years if you 1. Never meet them in person, or send them e-mail, 2. Haven’t interacted with them since 1994, but whatever works.

That awesome story of the time I got a really good deal on a server and it turned out to go the way of all really good deals is an excellent one for around a table with a nice drink (soda for me). Catch up with me at a con sometime.
