My friend Andrew wrote the following to me in an email today.

"In The future when our friends ask us how we're doing we will be able to say

'Check the Blog asshole.' "

This reminded me of an episode of This American Life from a couple of weeks ago. The subject of the first segment of "Time to Save the World" was the elimination of small talk.

I can do one better than just the blog, I thought to my self. A stupid web site with weather and news for the seattle area! That would eliminate the need for weather and news small talk!

Later.
