I can post directly into my weblog from anywhere now. I've gotten the remote access working!

Patrick Ruffini is weblogging the State of the Union address tonite.

Stare Down Sally: "Stare Down Sally is a simple game. In a moment, you'll meet Sally. She'll be staring at you with a powerful green-eyed gaze. She may stare for an instant...she may stare for several seconds...or she may stare for what seems like an eternity. But eventually, Sally will blink. DO YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STARE BACK... and NOT BLINK?"

Jerry Halstead makes some interesting points about weblogs and geography: "It would be interesting to see a map that shows icons on a world map for all of the recently updated weblogs. In this case you would need the geographical coordinates (approximate coordinates, zip/city, is fine) for each weblogger. This would be included with the meta information, kind of like the Channel headers (title, link, copyright) in the RSS feed. You can imagine this map having icons scattered all over it, but the predominate bunch would travel, wave-like, in synchronization with the sun. Using this kind of map there's a good chance you'll find other webloggers in your area that you might not have discovered by other means."

David Weinberger: "The importance of the weblog phenomenon isn't so much that it enables people to publish their breakfast menus or even their genuine insights. It's that we now know what our "avatars" on the Net are going to be: not graphical cartoon representations but our body of writing. You are what you write. On the Web we are writing ourselves into existence. This introduces into the self the same issues of control, inspiration, invention, deception and play as have always been present in the relationship of authors to what they write."

John Robb: "Weblogging is about creating an online self. It is your mind... online. It isn't a cartoon avatar or a silly sign-in name. It is your body of work, your writing that brings your mind alive online. It can't be done in a couple articles. You need to slog at it, day-in day-out, until people begin to understand how you think"
