A blizzard of weblogs...

...appeared yesterday, by the end of the session. I can already tell I'll be addicted to your weblogs, should you choose to maintain them (as you ought to!). Mark my words, as I said in lecture yesterday, you will look back on the dawn of the millennium, a long time from now when you're adults and productive citizens (of cyberspace and actualspace) and realize you were among the first to create and craft a new NOTION of the Internet.

Number of editthispage.com sites at the moment: 5,705

Number of personal websites on the net: millions.

So, how does it feel to be on the bleeding edge?

But more to the point, why have some BOYS been crying and yapping ("Manila sucks!") about being "cut" by this particular blade, while the GIRLS are enduring it well enough?! LOL. you guys are wusses. I dare you to shut up, quit your bellyaching and just weblog.

NOTE: If you have a legitimate and articulate (no, "to suck" is not an articulate verb) argument against exactly why Manila in particular and weblogging in general is a bad idea, I want to hear it. here and in public, not in fleeting IMs, and certainly not couched in innuendo and euphemisms. (if the highly specific meanings of these words elude you, go run to dictionary.com yourself.) and no, don't tell me about styling and tweaking the look of a weblog since that completely misses the point of what this whole thing is about.


update: 2:44 p.m.
I'm writing this at TIC now. what a bunch of great TAs I have. i have the luxury of going around and talking to just any student, getting to know him or her, and of course helping out with technical HTML stuff. This summer is going to be a relaxing one for me, I can see that already.

Tom gave his usual talk at the beginning, Luis and Aaron gave the technical heads-ups on HTML, Angel checking on his Study Lab mentees, and here we are now, hard at work on stuff. This class has evolved from its humble, if visionary, beginnings, to become a smooth, well-oiled machine, and I have all the TAs to thank, profusely, for this.


update: 5:10 p.m.
just got an e-mail from Anna Lam, who says that the way to see a list of your members is to go to the stats part of the site (i didn't even know this existed! haha). for my weblog, it's:

http://freeradicalized.editthispage.com/stats/members

...and note, this will only work if you turned on the preference of having the members list of your site be open to the public.


update: 7:50 p.m.
hey boyz and gurls, 2 things: turn on your Discussion Group preferences, in the Prefs/Membership section, so that people can post responses to your weblog entries.

second, since you copied my weblog list off of my site... my weblog name and link isn't on it! hehe. be sure to add it to yours, too.
