This is a brilliant idea.
You are really a series of You's, a kind of temporal phantom of identity. Who know what you'll be interested in, who you'll be dating, where you will live in the future, you certainly don't!
Send some future mails, reminds yourself of who you used to be.

Turning the Tide
okay, the world is completely different now. Ladies and gentlemen, a new blog, for your consideration. It contains the usual thoughts, ruminations, and opinions of it's author. It is varied in it's posting schedule.
And the author is a guy, like most blogs, who has something to say. The difference? this blog is by NOAM CHOMSKY. noam fucking chomsky.
Noam Chomsky. This is a man who has been described by his fans and detractors as the most influential intellectual in the whole world. in the world. and he has a blog.
He uses movable type, just like half of everybody else. He has his links, to Z mag and such.
When did the world switch over? Yesterday I was logging into prodigy net, and wondering if books would be available on the internet, the next I'm reading something that Noam Chomsky wrote twelve hours ago.
Good god. There is going to be a shakedown in blogs, I think, in terms of actual readership. and Now wilwheaton is competing with Neil Gaiman and Noam Chomsky. The little blogs will remain, of course, like mine, and my friends, just to keep people up to date, but I think the days of no name folk with a good gimmick becoming the most popular blog of the world for whatever reason.. it's not going to happen anymore. blogs are hitting the big time.
for the same reasons that it hit the little time. they're fun to read, and easy to write.
famous and powerful intellectuals are lazy and silly too, i guess.
I wonder if he'll get into the habit, and start blogging about his sandwiches and crap. That would be too hilarious.

a ha.
got to read and try to learn and apply the internal scripting language tonight.
didn't actually get much written, but I have a much better idea of how I need to do things.
I do so enjoy learning things I had no idea about. You wonder, and you read, and you play, and then you look back, and all the pieces fit, and you know what the path might be now, where before there was but darkness.
That is why growing is good.

OKCupid!
ever want to see what the world of internet dating is like, but don't want to pay for match.com or those other services? Like answering millions of silly questions on bizarre topics? Like clicking through craploads of people and judging them on their pictures, and some sparse and largely indecipherable text?
umm, maybe?
You may want to bookmark this for a free moment. It seems to be getting very popular.
