hmmm...so, yeah...

i imagine this is the common feeling of blog-block that sets in w/ new users. i've got this blogspace, but what do i actually SAY in it? purpose? goal? audience?

and is it the case that my access to this account is hobbled somewhat? i don't think i'm able to edit the blog's settings...

1st attempt

samuel morse, sending his first message via telegraph:

"What hath God Wrought?"

Oppenheimer's claim upon seeing the mushroom cloud he helped sire:

"Now I am become Death, destroyer of worlds."

first message sent between networked computers during arpanet testing:

"LO" [meant to be "LOGIN" but a system crash put an end to THAT silliness.]

and now, me:

"*taptaptap* he-LOOO? *taptap* is this thing ON? anyone?"


...the devil's in the details...
