Some blogger-related stuff
1) I just finished drinking some coffee at San Francisco’s fabled Caffe Trieste with an attractive woman who claimed to be one Roxanne P. Opuli. As we talked the first rain of the season began. I am reminded that correlation is not causation, but still: spooky.
2) I am informed by my sources, which are legion, that a blogger calling himself “Gordo” — though he is actually rather distinctly slender — has, in the course of defending his use of a particularly odious nickname for a certain nature- and science-writing blogger, alleged that said n- &s-w’ing blogger is “incredibly earnest.”
While I understand the temptation many smaller, more insignificant bloggers feel to attach themselves to larger, more significant bloggers after the fashion of a remora to a great white shark, and that providing attention to such actions merely encourages them, I really must object. I am not incredibly earnest. I merely feel strongly about certain things. There is a difference.
This is what “incredibly earnest” looks like:
I think you’ll agree that I am no such thing. Thank you.
