a blab by idle

This is a test post from the Flock 0.4.9 developer preview.  I first read of this on boingboing and was sufficiently intrigued to give it a try.  Although I am not a del.icio.us user (although it turns out I know the guy who started it from my time in NYC), this is definitely intriguing me in this "Web 2.0" social navigation context.  However, just as I'm not sure I want my phone, pager, fax, mp3 player, camera, and scanner all converged into one device, I'm also not sure I want all my social networking technologies converged into one program — I just don't know if it's set to leverage it cleanly, which is the fundamental justification that I can think of for convergence.

I also have spread the seeds of NaNoWriMo at the work.  So far, the library is on board as a resource, and I've got at least one member of the English faculty intrigued.  I've also put the official advert flyer outside my cubicle and one student has already given me some positive feedback on it (at least for its humor value).  I wonder if I can get any of those already overworked students on board for a month of wordslamming.

Yesterday was a rough day, and turned into a truly rough night.  Today wasn't as bad as last night, but it's taken me until now to even purge through the work-related things.  Now I'm almost afraid to take the lid off everything else from last night, for fear of losing control of it again.  I suppose I am indebted to try, though; we shall see….
