new blog!

June 13th, 2003 stevel

redid the blog using MovableType. no real reason other than it looked kind of interesting. erik was the one who inspired me to do it…so blame him. it seems like a pretty interesting and powerful piece of software extremely flexible in its use of templates, etc.

i still don’t totally understand where some people get so much to say in their blogs. i guess other people divulge more intimate thoughts into their blogs than i do.

wendy and i had a discussion tonight about how internet dating works…. and i think it has something to do with people’s confidence in who they can divulge their intimate and deep thoughts to. it’s like a Catholic confession. you can’t see the priest, and that’s somehow more comforting. i think it’s the same thing with internet dating. people feel more safe/comfortable talking to someone whom they know they will never have to meet face to face. so you can tell that person things that you wouldn’t tell, say, your co-worker for example.
