  • COMPLIMENTS OF DR. MENLO: Rex, I am honored, once again, to be part of the Corpse. I'd tell Andrei, too, but I know he's a busy man . . . so I'll send him my moonbeam-thoughts (>eeyawwwwwwwwwww<) . . . ah, but one quick thing: I'm sure you're way ahead of me on this, but I wanted to make sure you guys were running something on blogs this ish. I just found out about them (ok, a wee late), but they have revitalized my interest in the net to untold lengths. To be titled: WHY PORTALS SUCK, or WHY YAHOO SUCKS, etc, you know--in that wonderful WHY SALON SUCKS vein (which I haven't read yet but great title) . . . but just case I put together a brief intro:

From Wired ("The Web the Way It Was" by Leander Kahney, 2/23/00):

" . . . For example, Memepool recently provided links to sites for creating your own Old Testament adventure, bubblewrap lingerie, and entomophagy. At the same time, Yahoo's What's New linked to Philip Morris, Quaker Oatmeal, and Clover Stornetta Farms . . . "

Bypass the corporations and go straight to the good stuff. Bloggers are nothing less than the new millenium information dj's: rad neo-chefs for our digital media age. Historically important major flow-shift of the people toward democratization of information (chooze yr. newz) away from the megalomaniacal global insiduousness of the corporate media-propaganda stranglehold. Like, totally groovy, man. Go Blogger: Go Sane.

Blogs: "I thought I knew the net . . . I knew nothing."
Blogs: Discover the net, all over again.
Blogs: Get Sum. Daily.

Time predicted blogs will hit the cover of Wired: within 6 months.
Time predicted blogs will hit the cover of Time: 1-2 years.

As the aforementioned etxreme.ru sez: "Read fast. Think later." Indeed. Blog Power.

  • Born in Sacramento in 1972, Daniel spent his childhood climbing Idaho water towers. After brief sojourn-stays in Salt Lake City and San Fransisco, he now calls New Orleans home.
