art of blogging

I've been skeptical about Blogs since first reading about them 4 years ago; the word "blog" is ridiculous sounding and doesn't seem to have much street cred--But the appeal of a project, coupled with easy access to readers made it difficult to resist the pull (plus I found out blog stands for web log. Who knew?)

As you can read vaguely in the Explanation Section, our project (there are two of us--A and L) is that we determine what interesting things people know how to do, and they teach us a bit of an introductory course.

First Project: Blogging. Intro to the art by T, N, and Ty.

L interjects:

"I thought blogging would be fun. Actually it was ridiculous. Who knew that there were so many stupid formatting parts to a blog; who knew that it would take 30 minutes to decide whether we needed white or black words; who knew that there would be a process..."

I (I'm A) actually spent all day getting ideas and help from tons of people around me, asking their ideas and for hints. I felt weird without L, who for different reasons couldn't make it. I think she feels a little like this first blog isn't really collaborative.

L again:

"But I'm kind of important to this process, 'cause I light up people's lives. And we need a lot of light in this blogging project."

We did it though, even if we threatened peoples lives to help us finish posting this first one. The night is waxing, and we need some sleep. Good Blogging, People. Thanks for the Art form.

Here are L's last words...

"Dear S,
If you get this message then that means that I am no longer with you. I've been taken captive by an alien ship BloggerDotCom. It's a horrible journey. Know that I am aware of your suffering, but I have suffered more. Don't cry too hard for me, but just a little for my loss..."

Well, who knew you could actually say whatever crazy, random thing you wanted. You will find a little of that here, and a little crazy, random things we do, or new things we try. Read, enjoy, and volunteer to teach us something new!
