Visiting "WWdN: In Exile" (whitetail and blue pine)
Continuing my march through WWdN, I've just read his October 6th entry and this will be brief.
I don't watch Lost, so I don't have any comments.

Visiting "WWdN: In Exile" (October 5)
I just took a gander at Wil's post from October 5th (it's a good thing i enjoyed the tour), which was a bit of a downer, right up until the end that is.
The guy gave me a good laugh. I'll keep reading.
Perhaps I'll even call his attention to what I'm doing (that's only fair, right?)

Visiting "WWdN: In Exile"
<BrainDump>
As I mentioned yesterday, I surfed over to WWdN: In Exile (WWdN is "Wil Wheaton dot Net") and took a look at the first entry on the October, 2006 archive. He titled this entry "another brick in the wall" which, as a Pink Floyd fan, I gotta love.
Then he starts his post with "Begin brain dump:" & "End brain dump"; possibly not original, but I liked the sound of it enough to wrap this entry in "<BrainDump>" tags in an effort to "out-geek" him.
Someday, I'll grow up, I promise.
Just not today.
Now on to the content: let me start by saying that I've run across another blogger today (Missus Singapore) whose feelings I share: "keep my blog RPR-free - religion, politics and race free". I'm not saying that Wil should do likewise (someone has to be willing comment on current events, whatever they may be), but that isn't what my blogs are about (not yet, anyway, and certainly not this one).
Then there's the "Games of Our Lives" stuff. I'm very "non-geek" when it comes to computer games . . . my thinking being that it is a waste of computer resources, very practical and all that, not to mention that I don't have time for most of the things I'd really like to get done without having computer games drain my time (I spend too much time playing things like FreeCell as it is!) Short answer, that stuff didn't interest me much.
I like learning what people are listening to, perhaps because it can invoke a sense of Damn, when was the last time I heard that? so much of the time, so that part I found moderately interesting.
Congrats to his stepson for being accepted by Mensa. Sounds like a very uber-cool thing.
Damn him (Wil, not the stepson) for introducing me to Threadless. I think I see a significant drain on my limited financial resources there. Though I think that ThinkGeek is better suited to my brand of dressing to impress (the word "impress" here meaning "excessively drawing attention to my nerdiness"; FWIW, when I'm not "dressing to impress", then Eddie Bauer is my brand of choice).
As for Sufjan Stevens, I think I'm going to have to check this out further. I love most music, and folk music is a particular type I like more than some, so I followed Wil's link (the same linke I'm using above) to Sufjan's WikiPedia entry; I was able to find some mp3's that I listened to and the verdict is: I will have to track his stuff down.

In a nutshell: live & learn (or you won't live long)
Boy am I ticked off.
Spent a bit of time last evening surfing over to Wil Wheaton's blog, reading the first entry at the beginning of October's archive, and spent a good deal writing about what I thought, and for what? IE6 got hosed up on me and I lost it all.
Lessons learned(?), in order of importance(?):

Lessons learned(?), in order of importance(?):
- Write offline first (maybe I haven't quite learned this one yet, because that ain't what I'm about right now).
- Perhaps it is time to upgrade to IE7.
- Wil is a geek (but more about that next post!).

My Second Blog
Since I'm going to have a bit more free time on my hands real soon, I've decided to start yet another blog, with one with a much different emphasis from my Techsploration.
With this one I plan to spend a week or so visiting the blog of some famous person (even if it is someone made famous by being a blogger) and comment on what I agree with or not and see where it goes; after a fortnight or so I'll continue visiting the chosen blog and add another to the mix.
This may be a lame expirement, but you never know with this sort of thing unless you're willing to give it a try. Perhaps I'll dump it soon, or maybe it will be a thing of the ages.
Time will tell.
Now, who to pick on . . . er, who to visit first? I'm thinking, since I'm nerdy and loved Star Trek, I'll give Wil Wheaton's blog a go.
