~gauche and Metzger have shaken the "greater Hillsdale blogging community" to the core, first with the LXB. Unfortunately, I was not included (jerks).
Now, ~gauche has compiled a list of Hillsdale bloggers. It has been very useful, and is getting much press in the community of sites. It would be most kind of ~ to update my link to my new domain, but he included me, and I thank him. Check it out if you ever went to Hillsdale.
A strange sidenote, some of the neatest people have bad sites. Can you be cool in the real world and a nerd on the internet? We already know that people who are "cool" on the internet are often social misfits in the real world . . . ahem . . . but can we create an alternate society where new categories of interpersonal skills are required to become, say, alpha male? Does the Hillsdale Blogging List constitue hard evidence that we live in a brave new world, or rather, two brave new worlds- one biological and one electronic?
That is perhaps silly today, in 2003. Will it be silly in 2006?
So I have to ask myself, who am I here, and who am I there?

I told you, we're getting to you soon in the LXB. Promise.
Posted by: gauche at October 28, 2003 01:33 PMI have to give you a hard time anyway. No hard feelings, ~. (although there are some strange feelings for Metz . . .grrrr)
I meant that the list of Hillsdale Bloggers is a good thing, and I thank you for doing it.
Strange feelings for me eh? Coming out of the closet perhaps? I appreciate it, but I think you've got the wrong idea, buddy. No, don't worry Jake, we planned from the instant we started to have you in, we just had a special section reserved for you that we didn't get to. But we should have you in by the end of the night. :)
