Cracked writes something of substance… world in deeper peril than previously imagined, read the headline that morning.

I wanted to try a really long headline. Like my resume site, ChristopherElst.com, this site will be getting an overhaul shortly, both in design and usage. I intend to make my blog more amenable to the passing user, although I doubt I will be able to resist the LiveJournal-ly overly personal diary entries now and again. I’ve been making most of those private, so that only my hacker friends are bored with me.

But in the interest of the burgeoning Steelbuddha community web 2.0 sharing experience (or some equally obtuse marketing name), I post this delectable little article about trolling. If you can stick to the text and ignore the Cracked.com shell, there’s actually a point to be made in there, particularly toward the top of the list — which in our times comes at the bottom of the article. The interwebs inverted our inverted pyramid, Journalism majors!

  1. I meant to drop a line about your resume site the other day. Veddy nice. Something about that photo gives me the feeling of ealry dawn wistfulness. Weird, perhaps.

    I also like that the article about trolls uses the troll from Fremont. I should post the photos from that experience.

    Finally, I am in mid-overhaul myself. I’m trying to figure out how to separate three blogs, but keep them connected. I thought pages would do that, but I was wrong. Basically, I need three blogs, but under one website. I think. Gah.

    Please let me know if there are any issues with the continuation of your generous offering of space.

  2. Space just sits there. If you need me to help you with sites at all, I must decline, however. I have quite a bit on my plate right now.

  3. No, not looking for help on sites. Just wanted to check in and make sure that I wasn’t overstaying my welcome.
