ex machina

i wonder if all the naval gazing about a blog rapture , bloggerdom ho-hummedness , blogging-newness-wearing-off and renewed commitments to getting back to basics are related to the blogosphere subconsciously trying to deal with the impending release of "weblogs for dummies" .

i remember a similar cyle of activity occuring a few years ago. i think it might have been around the new year as well. much lamenting about focus being lost, concurrent with site redesign after site redesign and a rash of prominent bloggers going on extended leaves of absences. in fact, i think there may have been a site that tracked people going off the air. some came back, some didn't and life went on. i have no idea what it means, if anything. all i know is that i'm still giddy with excitement at the possibilities inherent in booktalk .

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
