My daughter has started using the computer. She is 2. She is now using MS Word. Here is some of her output:

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

"K for Kaleigh," "D for Da-da-da-daddy!" and "M for Mommy!" are just some of the things she shouts while typing.

In my quest to conform to the common standards of this new "blogosphere," I came across this handy glossary of blog terminology, or "blogish," or "blog-isms," to perhaps coin new terms. Hmmm, did I coin new terms? A quick search on Google reveals that there are several meta-blogs - blogs that discuss blogging - and thus serve as reference files for new bloggers. Here's one. BTW, I did not. Twice.

After pondering the implications of the outboard brain and disseminating information via blogging, I am considering a job-specific blog. I wonder if that would be useful or just a waste of time. It sure would be handy for referrals. [Edit: After reading this blogger's fate, I may not.]

Here is an interesting blog about how to start blogging. I should follow her advice for more "web-savvy" users, but I don't have the time, so I am taking the easy path. She also has some universal advice about building traffic. I am not doing this to build traffic, so I'm not much concerned about that. Besides, I'm not getting a share of blogspots ad revenues.

In the interest of propagating "useful" links, use this URL when you want to express uncharacteristic surprise - WTFOMG

Why am I blogging and why should anyone care? Because I am joining the information revolution, and I also wanted an outboard brain. That's why.

Cory Doctorow has a new story out. It's at Salon. His previous Salon story was excellent. He's pretty hip and open source, so you can read some of his fiction here at his website

A fascinating article I came across and used as ammunition in a "discussion" on a gaming website. You can beat the casinos at their own game. Hacking Las Vegas
