blogchalking

Crap. Had an entry all typed in about blogchalking when M.S.I.E. died.

Google! DayPop! (As if they'll notice!) This is my blogchalk: English, California, Santa Cruz Mountains, Blue Tarp Town, 37n05/122w05, Doug, yob.1952

Many of you can see it in action by holding your cursor over this image: blogchalk: Doug/yob.1952.  Lives in California/Santa Cruz Mountains/Blue Tarp Town:  37n05/122w05.  Speaks English.  Sometimes.  Spends 40% of daytime online most days. Uses a DSL connection or the other little red scribble of a smiley face over in my section of pink nav-links.

My main point: use yob (Year of birth) not age, and use latitude/longitude instead of town or city name. Many of us do not live in towns or cities.

You know you're thinking too much about blogging when you intend to type <blockquote> and you get <blogquote> instead.
