Where does the dream stop and the blog begin? ;)
Bizarreness. In dreamland last night, I was in the midst of a very pleasant time flirting with a girl (who looked suspiciously like Xeni — extremely odd, as I’ve never even come close to meeting her, and only know of her from her contributions to BoingBoing), when she stopped to jot down a couple notes on a scrap of paper. I caught a glimpse of the paper, which was titled “blogging ideas,” and midway down was written “did he see that I linked to him yesterday?” So, then the dream bounces over to BoingBoing and I start checking the guestblog in their sidebar (really, it wasn’t Xeni, I swear I’m not some psycho net-stalker — the dream girl had a different name, one that I can’t remember anymore as the dream fades, though) to see where I was mentioned.
That suddenly switched to a bizarre sequence where apparently Cory (BoingBoing’s webmaster) had given one person the main column, another person the guestblogger column, and had told them that the “best” blogger would get a permanent paid spot as the primary BoingBoing blogger. The two of them then immediately posted this, and then started alternating between throwing links up and slamming each other in an effort to take the top spot. After this went on for a while, things got so intense and spiteful that Cory took back over both blogs, admitted his mistake, and closed down BoingBoing.
Then my alarm went off.
