Sooo.... yeah. I really thought I could travel and for one night, not obsess about blog mouthing. I was wrong. Actually, I think that being OCD is cool.
Heading for the Wheeler Ranch. Lot's about that on the RTP blog. It's linked up here. The Fly on the Wall post is particularly good. Panda's are a bunch of Sick Fucks. I Love It!

Blog Mouth and Face Blather
Of late, I have been reflecting on my long term addiction to the Interwebs. Back in "the day" all I had to work with, for the most part, is by today's standards antiquated. An over clocked 486 with 16 meg of memory and CRT monitor. The qwerty key board seems to be the real survivor. You just don't see text only versions of web pages any more.
I became aware at the advent of AOL and IM. I had heard of message boards and such but like amateur radio (which I was becoming somewhat bored with) they seemed to me, antiquated as well. Now I could be really connected to the world! Little did I know at the time what that would eventually mean.
Now my dual screen, mega gig surf board still takes commands from my fingers via a qwerty keyboard.
Now we have a multitude of blogs, forums and social networking tools. By and large the Internet is still a place for the sharing of information on any topic. However, it has become polluted with unsolicited advertising and "suggested posts". Gummed up with misinformation that is freely spread by the barking masses, I have to actually do research before I hit the share button. I am constantly being profiled by analytical search bots. Googly search for a widget and magically every form of it appears on my E-gay side bar. Indeed we are all part of a World Wide Web that we can only escape from by going off the grid.
I am unable to go off the grid. My OCD stops me. The desire to share a part of myself with the world is overwhelming at times. The need to be part of the online society does not just go away. I need my fix daily.
Yes, I am addicted. At least I endeavor to separate the wheat from the chafe. The wheat available now allows me to stay close to friends far away. I can keep in contact with my children and loved ones. I get to make new friends and experiment with differing forms of communication and networking. The chafe is just fertilizer.
