He Really Seems To Care … About What I’ve No Idea
I just noticed that a couple guys I’ve met on MyBlogLog have referenced in their own blogs this manic, stream of conscious, sanctimonious bat-shit I type here when I’m not busy spending money. I’ve no idea what the hell I’m saying here, but they seem to enjoy it. Don’t ask me why, your guess is as good as mine.
Unlike this blog, both of them actually have a purpose. One of them, Uniquely the Epitome, is by a really creative art director named Marc Rapp. He “draws pictures, make pictures move, write words to go with pictures, and put pictures in places for people to interact with them.” Actually, he’s really talented. take a look at his portfolio. Plus, just like me, he’s also interested in the complete misuse of the English language. Righteous!
The second of them, California Wine Hiker, is written by a gent named Russ Beebe who leads “winehiking” tours, and blogs about the California winehiking experience. Russ leads dozens of tours each year and is always on the lookout for new trails, wineries, and venues that will ensure a relaxing and memorable group experience. It’s a great concept, and there are no issues with drunken walking as far a I know.
Thanks guys. Much love. Peace out Player!
UPDATE: I also wanted to add another few blogs I neglected to discuss above because I was kinda busy. Um, well I am now too, so I’ll make it quick.
If you have any interest in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) stuff and the like, this guy David Templeton (who coincidentally has already commented on this post, ahem) has a great SEM SEO Certification Training Blog. It’s not dry like many similar ones are, and I especially like the caption of one of his latest entries: “SEO isn’t rocket science but neither is rocket science according to NASA.”
There’s also a nicely written blog by Vanessa Byers. Vanessa is a “fiscal management professional, freelance writer, poet and activist” who also, coincidentally, resides here in Miami. She just threw some love to a couple of friends of mine who own “Karma,” a local carwash/tapas lounge here in town. She can count, she can write and she’s got a clean car. Nice. Now I’ve just got to teach her to surf.
Finally, and with as much fanfare as I can muster today – there’s Tisha at Serenity Quest. She is incredibly insightful with respect to a variety of topics. Moreover, some of her content is decidedly “lipstick feminist” in nature, which simultaneously educates, intrigues, and frightens me all at the same time (my apologies if that gets taken as anything but a compliment).

That’s what I love about MyBlogLog. You find some fascinating blogs like yours and then you find some more. Way to spread the love.
No surprise to me this place keeps drawing me back!
Ha. Thanks for the mention. Here’s a quote from Steve Crocker (1992). This is the best response I have to your rhetorical question above.
“Because of decentralized origination of messages, the inability of one poster to interrupt another, the lack of a mechanism to censor content, and the speedy but non-synchronous mode of the conversation it is possible for “fringe” ideas to be heard and to rise or fall on their merits, alongside conventional ideas. Thus, we have a real possibility, for the first time in many years, to create communities of thought in which our socialized images are constructed in a participatory fashion, and can reflect reality as we actually experience it, rather than as some central authority has decided it is appropriate to appear.”

Thanks again.
Dave, Thanks much, I also like your blog and especially your post of the other day.
Aw Tisha, you’re my new best friend.
Marc, No worries mate. I remember James Burke saying something similar a while back about the advent of computers and the minority voices. However, I was actually quoting Rodney Dangerfield from “Back To School.” Hehe.
“Best” is actually my last name NO SHIT! What a review! I am in no way offended actually quite flattered, first time anyone has used the term “lipstick feminist” to describe me so that’s quite amusing and ACCURATE! Be afraid be very afraid!
Thanks for the update, it’s David Temple by the way but I get that a lot. I think it’s great that you are giving other blogs shout outs and comment on blogs you like. Keep up the good work.
