wow … i just heard this tremendous crash and thought that the new dorm had crumbled under its own blocky weight, but a glance out my window reveals otherwise. It seems Philly is being treated to another humidity triggered downpour (that will surely clear up in under an hour). This ultra-soggy weather has been on and off for the past few weeks, and i am definitely enjoying all the rain. However, these mid-day explosions of sound and water can be a little unsettling. Especially when caught out without an umbrella.

I am reading this intriguing essay about why web journals suck. I’m not entirely sure that this applies to me, since i journal as much for my own enjoyment as for anyone else’s since no one reads my “journal.” Also, my website existed long before this little part of it did, and this represents only a mere fraction of the total content. As of now i feel like this is the ultimate in update logs: every reason why i am and am not updating my page right now.
(yes, that link means i read a bit of Survivor Blog. No, i am still not going to link to it)

All of freespeech seems to be having the same problem with their audio, so for now i’ve decided to forget about it. One thing i noticed in my quick spin around FreeSpeech is that i run one of the more decent sites on here. I’m not being pretentious, really! Search for “Band” from the main freespeech page and almost half of the first page of links will turn out to be “coming soon” pages, or “updated 7/99” pages. It makes me damn proud that i upkeep my site as often as i do. In an effort to get more people to read my site, i am updating the META tags with better keywords. If anyone good with that sort of thing has any ideas for me, please let me know.

While i am plugging other random blogs i run across, you should definitely go to not so soft – blog [a world unfolding] [v7.0]. Besides the obvious Ani DiFranco fan who lives there, it’s one of the most well done logs i have seen in the past few weeks. And, as an ultra-bonus, she links to other equally well-thought-out sites.

ElectricBiscuit : We’re going to be up for 48 hours and we don’t give a shit what you think.
I think that just about says it all. I plan on paying special attention to hours 36-44, as i think they will be the most delirious. I suggest you give them a try. Hopefully they can give that awful Survivor Blog (and i refuse to link to it) a run for its money on the active bloggers list.
