Getting ready for anniversary dinner at Bridgetown Grill which is
ironically across the street from the office we just moved away
from. This has been a Carribean food day for me, since I got lunch at
Kool Korner grocery, right by Georgia Tech. I was in that part of town
dropping off the yard sale stuff at the Salvation Army and felt like a
Cuban sandwich for lunch. Tonight will probably be Carribean nachos
with jerk chicken for me, dunno what D will want.
I spent an atypically long time in the car today, what with driving
downtown over lunch and failing to make it over to the I-85 exit in
the morning and having to cut through town. I listened to all but the
last 20 minutes of the Gonzo Marketing book. I should
give him a break from my earlier post. It is pretty good and makes a
lot of sense. More about it later, off to anniversary fun!

Although I have seen it referenced many times from Doc Searls’ weblog,
this weekend is the first time I have read Rageboy’s Weblog. What
brought that about is that I bought a copy of his book Gonzo Marketing
on tape at BookEars on Friday
(in the $0.99 bin - sorry RB). One of the first things I saw was this
post about some dumbass kid who
didn’t like his daughter’s weblog. All natural to be mad about
that and all but the way he expressed that was kind of disturbing to
me, especially where he characterizes the kid as a “Z-list blogger”
who is “displacing his thinly disguised envy of her ‘A-list’ blogger
dad.”
Now come on, seriously. I’m one of many Z-list bloggers - does that
mean we should all give up because we aren’t as wondrous as
Christopher Locke? Of course not. Isn’t this want blogging is supposed
to be about, is giving a voice to everyone? At the point where you
start evaluating opinions by the amount of blog juice someone has, you
have started a headfirst slide down the slippery slope of the same
bullshit power politics that exist everywhere else. Maybe I picked a
really bad day to walk in, but having this be the very first thing I
saw from his blog really colors my opinion of him and his book. When I
hear him reading his text about the power of the democratization of
the Net and the conversations that give everyone the power, in the
back of my head I’m thinking “until they piss you off, then you pull
rank.”

Here is a highly pointless excercise: a fantasy market trading shares in
weblogs. As popularity waxes and wanes, the shares go up and down
(I guess, I don’t know.) I am willing to waste time on silly and
pointless pursuits, but other than a brief academic interest, I shan’t
be spending any time fooling with this.

A couple of quick posts about blog stuff. One is from Larry Hammer on
DM, which is a Brunching
Shuttlecocks generator of contentless weblog posts. I’ve been
guilty of writing more than a few of these, so I have no room to be
too catty.

Today is our 13th wedding anniversary. People told us it was unwise to
get married at age 12, but it has worked out just fine.
