Reaity intrusions 
 Gotta get ready for all kinds of shit this weekend, plus Linux World next week. No time to post. Meanwhile, read this from Lou Josephs and this from the Head Lemur.
Guru of glee 
 My friend Bernie makes fun of things for a living. Really. If you have a fun problem, Bernie is your man. Also if you don't. The System still works. Fun is like that. So is Bernie.
 Yesterday I decided Bernie was a felicitator. Calling himself that would narrow his market to the 0.X% of us who know the meaning of felicity and who also get the word play. But therein lies a problem, no? And perhaps therefore also a market.
 Speaking of which, Bernie does retreats. They're the therapy you don't think you need, and won't be embarrased to talk about later.
Borgosystem 
 Blog and ye shall be borged into Phillip Pearson's Blogging Ecosystem, which is becoming freaking huge.
 I'm flattered by how well this blog does on both the Most Linked and Most Prolific Linkers lists: Right behind Glenn Reynolds on both.
 Also interesting to see a nice mix of techbloggers and warbloggers, even though some (most?) of us don't like either label a whole lot.
 What's really cool is that the whole thing serves as a kind of collective blogroll: a bloggeist that isn't limited to any one blogger's faves (or in my case, three years of legacy I don't have the heart or the time to thin out).
 There are odd omissions, like Moxie, one of my faves.
 But there are many worthy journals down in the nether regions of the list. Like GeekPress, which finds agreement with my belief that jet aircraft contrails must have some climatic effect, since they so obviously contribute significantly to the high altitude cloud layer over much of the Earth (though nothing ever seems to have come from the September 11-13 contrail experiment last year). At the very bottom of the left list is Julius Caesar's own weblog, Boggus Caesari. For example, Caesar reports this item on July 31:
 Usurpers amongst the Senones tried to kill their king Cavarinus (an appointee of mine). He heard of the scheme and fled, but was discovered at the border. They dethroned and banished him, although they spared his life. I've asked for their entire tribal council to pay me a visit and discuss their recent actions.
 Then there's Peace Dividend, whose author, Jessica Donohoe, has a birthday next Tuesday. Her hunt for a day job makes for good reading. She also shares what has to be the creepiest link on which you cannot help clicking: Rapper Charged with Murder After Human Flesh Found In Stomach.
 So there's some major good fishin' down there below the usual pickin's.
 Which is why I just made the whole durn ecosystem the top link in my blogroll.
Fuck happens 
 Robin Wiliamson's Incredible String Band used to have a song, I think it was called Big Ted. The lyrics went, "Big Ted's dead and gone. Gone like snow on the water. Good bye-eeee..."
 Well, that's what happened with a whole lotta yesterday's blog. Or the last few posts, anyway. Not sure why. I must've done something dumb before closing my Radio Userland outline, moving stuff on and off another outline I sometimes use for drafts.
 Anyway, if you think I did something bad, or took my words back, or censored myself or something like that, don't think again. Just forgive. Hey, I fucked up.
