("Wisdom lives in the cracks" ... ponder out-lying data ... now the fractalinear nature of biological activity ... heh, like cold fusion; entirely improbable! *grin*)<BR/><BR/>I happened to be working my various gmail accounts before commenting and so, to verify that I had adopted the right persona (my other 2: one is hippie-dippie and the other is for my Buddhist sangha project) I clicked on my Profile.<BR/><BR/>And I tripped over a datum I hadn't known ... it shocked me, in fact:<BR/>On Blogger Since January 2002<BR/><BR/>huh huh ... so it took me almost 6 years to start "blogging". ;-PBernard (ben) Tremblayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097630017893920397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21517466.post-25519700854699208092007-12-29T20:14:00.000-08:002007-12-29T20:14:00.000-08:00I trip when I begin to talk about "validating" the...I trip when I begin to talk about "validating" the subjective narrative. Because, of course, it's never in need of /validation/ ... which is sorta the point. And even when the "data" is questionable (see cog- and social-psych on "self-reporting"), the personhood remains. (Tonight for the first time I crafted "Information <I>contra</I> data ... and the pershonhood slips through the distributed middle.)<BR/><BR/>So when I see how you started blogging not quite 2 years ago ... I have to know there's something there.<BR/><BR/>I started creating a "web log" months after meeting the web for the first time, so that would be late winter '95 / early spring '96. I was /very/ reluctant in taking up the software ... none of it was doing what I wanted, and all of it felt limiting. (So I was not an early fan of Dave Winer's work, though I knew of him very well back then.)<BR/><BR/>"User cases" ... a technocratic way of acknowledging the foundational value.<BR/><BR/>Would you ever essaie, however slightly, on just what failed to draw you? As you see above, I have objective factoids to hind behind ... the subjectivity of my story is long-gone. (I might be able to conjure it up, if ever I thought it was <I>apropos</I>, which isn't likely.)<BR/><BR/>cheers<BR/>and again best of '08 to youBernard (ben) Tremblayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097630017893920397noreply@blogger.com
