a blab by idle

I started playing around with A2B just now. I've always been a fan of geographic linking, and have supported ICBM tags on my blog for years now; in addition to those, there are now also more-abstracted geotags. I found an interesting looking article on this topic (which happens to be from this week) on linuxjournal.com; if you're interested, it's a pretty good overview and intro.

I've added an A2B button on the sidebar just for grins; not sure if it'll last, but at least it keeps the exposure of geoblogging present. It also feeds into the concept of bridging the online and RL worlds, which is something I find myself needing to do more and more. Being here in the abstract just isn't cutting it for me anymore; though I love the net for making connections, there's a point past which they simply cannot go without RL interaction. That point, however, is far beyond the point where they should not go without RL interaction, and sadly I have blown past that point any number of times in the last two decades… arguably the last four years being the most present example thereof.

For what it's worth, I'll be adding geotags shortly.
