[…] As of this coming tuesday, the sixth of november, it will be two years since I changed the default wordpress first post from “hello world” to hello squirrel, intending to delete it shortly thereafter, and never quite getting around to doing so. […]
I once had a neighbourhood squirrel named Chuck. Randee named him. He was quiet, except at night in the attic. The landlady and her man wouldn’t believe us. Scratchy scratchy scratch on the rafters in the attic doesn’t sound like a magical squirrel running on the vinyl siding. I have a picture of Chuck somewhere.
Also, speaking of firsts. My blog is up. I do intend to post more often that the three-month interval. I wish I was cool like you, but I’m a stupid academic instead. Boo hoo. And for the record I guess I might be copying your idea of using a blog as a place to write down notes for a book. But it’s like George Harrison’s (was it him?) unconscious plagiarism. Or something.
You wouldn’t be copying me. That’s what’s nice about the blog format, it just naturally lends itself to working on something while you discuss it, and even blurring the line between the two… which seems to have a positive impact on productivity, though I’m not sure why.
