While they (lamentably) don’t have a permalink system, you absolutely must go to 2-headed monster to read the entry from Friday, January 05, 2001. It’s just what life is really like… and i could be portraying either of the people at that table. Go! Read!

Heaven forbid i go a week without lavishing attention on Re! Rest assured, after my email and shafted and wockerjabby Re’s is the next narrative to crawl into my brain and get comfy. And it’s been that way for a long time now. Do you know why you’re at the bottom of the link list right now? Because i type the address in on reflex! Entirely true! Ok? Good. Now then, am i mistakenly ignoring anyone else?

While i’m kvetching late into the night feel free to visit one of my favourite reads on the entire internet: Rabi’s WockerJabby (and nominate it for the Bloggies if you feel the same way). And, now Rabi has installed BlogVoices, which allows you to talk back to her posts and gives me a reason to reload her page about every 5 seconds. Also in the “continuous reload” category, Shafted has been inordinantly amusing lately, which means i’ll probably be restoring their link any day now. Any day now…

Oh, by the way, Muffin‘s redesign kicks my layout’s ass. Go love him! Also, Spoon has got an awe-inspiring layout coming up later this week, and sky leaves no shortage of content for you to get tangled in. I have a few more hostees coming any day now, but i’m sure you can find enough to occupy yourselves until then, right? Cool.

Have you made your contribution to the blogger.com server fund yet? Blogger might be a free service, but it’s run by very real and tangible human beings who are obviously trying their best to keep it at peak performance. Lately that standard hasn’t quite been met, and they admit that they need new server hardware to keep the bar raised for the future. As such, they kindly requested that bloggers around the world unite and contribute five or ten dollars towards the estimated $5000 they needed. 24hours later they are nearly three fourths of the way towards their goal!, which just proved how cool the blogging community is.
Of course, some people would argue that this is all rather scandalous and a precursor to Blogger being a service you have to pay a fee to use. To the contrary, i find the whole situation encouraging… the folks at Pyra (the business name for the Blogger folks) would rather turn to their viewing public for a decision than run to corporate sponsors or immediately charging for signing up for service. Do they expect us to bail them out of every funding problem they hit? Hopefully not. But, this situation showed just how much we all really love our little service and that we’re willing to go to bat for it. Although, i do agree with Tom when he mentioned investing in Blogger… sorta a pre-IPO claiming of stocks? Hell… either way i’m in. Maybe you should be too.
