ok

umm, i don't know, what a shoddy list. maybe i'll write on those things, i guess i'll try expanding it some time here as well. i'm confused by certain things right now, namely the idea that people generally write things in hopes of other people reading them.. i don't think that's really what i'm trying to get out of this practice. i'd just like to keep track of some thoughts, and writing seems to help with that. again, i'm the one posting personal details on the internet (for pete's sake) of all places, but why? juuuuuust because. because other people do it? they do it more. or there's more people doing it more. lots of people. it's odd stumbling upon some random-ass site, and then discovering that there's already thousands of people already using it, and getting something out of it. how am i supposed to do anything outside of the digital world when i'm so busy updating and maintaining these few things i've joined?
clearly, not every person is intended to use every site. take for example picassa and flicker: both are web-based image hosting sites, (i guess i need to include there photobucket, imageshack and wordpress) and both are free. both allow you to store and access your photos, but they both have slight differences. is there any point in my joining both sites? various questions arise thereafter, such as: what's the damn difference? which pictures do i put where? do i even take pictures, and why would i want to bother uploading them into the cybersphere?
clearly some of these have answers, others don't. others, damn it, have multiple answers, or the answer is up for debate. or there isn't a best answer. actually this last possibility indeed seems true regardless of what i'm thinking about. anyways..
before i asked myself these questions, i wound up making both a picassa account and a flickr account..this might be a bad thing, except that i haven't even added any pictures to either(!) wait, sonabitch, it turns out picassa was purchased by google (it appears) and has been linked to my blogger account..this seems somewhat helpful, so maybe i'll keep flickr as an alternative, and just keep them independent of each other.. nice. after all, what would be the point of uploading the same pictures onto both sites? seems like a waste of bandwidth..i don't even know if that makes sense, oh well.

ok, so i've accomplished something just now. albeit something mundane and superfluous (is that possible??) but something nonetheless, and more than i can say about my life outside of this computer. haha sweet.
