From researcher to blogger
I think I've come to blogging through a strange back door. I have one of my lovely girlfriend's classes to blame.
She's a graduate student right now, and she's taking a lit class on rhetoric and technology. She's writing a paper about blogs, and she's been generous enough to share her research with me. Sometime while I was reading Jill and Torrill's article, "Blogging Thoughts," (which you can get from Klastrup's Cataclysms here), I decided to give this a shot.
My first blog experience was yesterday, when I barcoded myself after following the link from Jill's page. Turns out I'm worth $8.63. Does'nt sound like much, but my darling girlfriend scanned in at only $6 and some change, and we both beat out the Nigerian women we barcoded, who were worth $.06 to $.09. As downright cool as the concept is, there's still something just plain strange about it when someone puts a dollar amount on you. And when you have to face your plunging dollar value against today's Euro.
