The Missing Link
Between loads of laundry and scratching off chores completed on my “needs to be cleaned before the next semester starts” list, I have been rebuilding my list of links. This is no small feat, considering two years of links disappeared with the new operational install. Compound that with my faulty recall and there is a whole lot of “google-ing” going on. Slowly, but surely, I’m finding them. If only the same could be said of my memory.
For your consideration I offer the following conversation:
me: IZ? What’s that thing in the bathroom called that you weigh yourself on?
IZ: A scale?
Alzheimer’s can’t be far behind.
This brings up a interesting conundrum for me regarding the new site which should be going live in the next week or so. To Link or Not to Link? At present moment I do not have a reciprocal linking list. While, it’s an unwritten law in the blogging world among the equally qualified hacks out there: You link to me, I’ll link to you–I’m not in the mood to play by the rules. However, it gets me thinking about how best to organize all these links. And even though I’m still leaning towards “NOT” (as I am with dumping Haloscan and commenting) I’ve compiled a few category suggestions:
1. I know them, but they don’t know me: People I stalk.
2. The Twenty-somethings: People who don’t know any better but think they do.
3. Obligatory links: People who know where I live and will hunt me down if I don’t link them.
4. Classics, Standards, and Jason Kottke: this is obvious right?
5. Everything you ever wanted to know. AKA: Google.
6. Everything I pretend to read but really don’t.
7. “Pining” for home: People who post from Seattle
8. You know you want to…(some things are best left unexplained)
I’m sure there are more… but I want to scratch off “Laundry” from the list, so I’d better get. ~~Wen
