livejournal salvage
i spent a few minutes paring down and salvaging some of the better entries from my month long stint with livejournal. it is not a bad service, and the community aspect is good, but i just prefer the comforts of home.

extrospective
okay. i have wanted to find a way to bring more collaboration into my site. it leaves one with an unhealthy sense of egoism to be the only one talking in the room, especially when the room is so theoretically huge. so i have created this, again through the apparent miracle of blogger (yes, you…
