Connecting in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .
Ok, ok. Here's the deal. I thought about it last night, and I've come to the conclusion that there's no sense in keeping this web log if I don't interconnect it with the rest of my disjointed little world. Consequently, since my other pages do occasionaly receive attention, there is the remote chance that someone might actually stumble across this . . . this . . . thing, for lack of a better word.

Which brings me to my next point. The editor that is provided by Tripod is pretty basic. If I were comfortable with HTML, I could post these entries as such. Even then, though, there is still no spell checker. Since I'm too lazy to to use an editor like Front Page and then copy over the HTML code to this editor, not only do you not get nicely formatted text with bold and everything, but you also have to put up with my horrible spelling. So please, if you're going to leave a comment, no pointing out spelling errors.

Next, this weblog falls directly under an abstract concept that I like to refer to as Fred. When You see me address an entry as such, I am addressing this abstract concept; or rather, I am speaking to this abstract concept. Which brings me to you--any and all who may happen to read these entries. If you feel more comfortable with the idea that I am writing with the thought that you are among my audience of readers (and therefore, that I am addressing you), then the easiest way to go about doing that is to consider yourself part of Fred, or, that is to say, think of Fred as being the audience that I am addressing.

On the other hand, if you would prefer the darker side, and want to believe that you have somehow gotten access to some secret hidden part of me, without my knowledge, then simply think of Fred as an actual person, and these entries are actual corespondences to him (or her), and you're reading them without my consent.

Not that this little asside actually means anything. If you prefer the one view, you will automaticaly approach the entries as such, and visa-versa (or however it happens to be spelled).

The main points to this whole entry are first, to let you know that I'm connecting it with the rest of my disjointed world. The links will be modified shortly on all of my pages. Seconod, if you see me address Fred, this is not an actual person, but if you would rather think of Fred as such, then by all means.

Yours, Jeff
