The electronic life...

One of the things that I've been pondering this weekend is just how much computer technology has become integrated into daily life. I think that one of the ways in which I have realized this more concretely is through the blogging world. Now that I'm an "out-of-towner" when I'm over to visit I find myself pestering others about their blogs and having others inquire more as to my electronic identity. (My Albertan friends aren't quite so addicted to this blogging thing.)

Sometimes I think up some rather odd ideas, but one of the things that I've discussed a little during my visit here is whether or not a birthday party should be held for Rotundus sometime soon (as the site turns 5 years old in August). We were discussing doing something really cheesy involving some dorky party hats and perhaps a custom cake. We'll have to see if anything materializes or not. Probably what even thinking about this really means is that I have too much time and money on my hands. We'll see what happens. Blogging is good and all, but its nice to meet more directly occasionally as well.

I wonder what sort of response a more general bloggers meeting somewhere in the Lower Mainland might receive. I guess that the challenge remains to ensure that enough people are involved that its not the usual groups that happen to meet together, but at the same time ensure that its restrictive enough that you'd at least know a few others there.

In other news, happy birthday to me!
