Weblogs

Dear Liz,
What is a blog?  Someone asked me that.  But seriously, what is it?
-Kate Beltway, DC

Dear Kate,

Let me get some things out of the way.

Currently Reading:  My high school yearbook.  Poems I wrote.  Your high school yearbook (but only as a source of analogical insight into my own life).

Currently Listening to:  A feedback loop recorded by a mic placed 2 inches from my own mouth and phased in oscillating cycles of 1 to 2 seconds of lag time (because I’m so bored and bored of being bored).

Current Mood: Delusional.  Solipsistic. 

Why is no one reading this?

Tell Kristen it’s a log that’s on the Web.  Like a diary for Gen M.  What’s Gen M?  Someone asked me that.
-Me

    What’s with the ageism, Matt? Don’t be bringing that around teh LAB. I’ve got some hot underage relatives who are Generation M(ultitasking/edia).

    Hey, what’s with demographic neologizing? Why do GRUPs and BoBos and WOOPs love it so much?

    And what’s with links? When I’m reading a Web page, I want to stay in one place, not buzz up and down like a bee having a seizure. I’m 10,000 years old, and I want to feel like I am, instead of like I’m one year old, cruising around the HyperAnachrocosm in my baby car. Right? I don’t want a necter-powered aerodrome. I don’t care what cable news says! No links. Just tell me the address. Seriously, how do I get out of this box?

    after I read this, I googled ‘grups’ and read the new york metro article ‘up with grups’. I sent it to my parents and to emily’s (that’s my fiancee, to everyone out there in LAB-land) parents. I like how the older I get, the more the generational stereotypes resemble something I would like to be, and actually, since I’m getting older, something that I am. I’m really looking forward to cutting the teeth of whatever we’ll be when *i’m* thirtysomething and (probably) breeding. I’m hoping for total convergence.
