Reading and Writing Online
Posted by thearrow on June 17, 2008
I’m no expert on this, but I’m trying to learn. Here’s a helpful and appropriately short article on the dos and don’ts from Slate: http://www.slate.com/id/2193552.
I’ll get back with more substantive postings at the end of the week, when I return home. Just wanted to show I wasn’t ignoring my three readers 
. Also, I’m being brief, just like Slate advises.

thanks for the link!

Indeed it is! With so much information coming at us from all sorts of electronic directions, picking up a book and not doing anything else while reading it is very calming. Crazy, isn’t it?

What’s the deal with the Rick Roll video? This is maybe the 5th time I clicked on a link to that video in the last week.

Huh? Not sure what you’re talking about. I clicked on the Slate link and it goes where it says it goes. What am I missing?

Oh, OK. Now I get it, so I’ve learned a new thing. I’ve never been rickrolled so far

you will, don’t worry
it took me some time to realize it’s ‘a strange and bizarre coincidence’ (to quote Ionescu) that I’m redirected to that video on random occasions…
