9 Years 2007
When I was 9 years old I went on a big trip with my folks to Scotland & Norway and still feel the echoes of that wonderful trip today.
What will MetaGrrrl.com do now that it's nine years old? Exploration, new friends, new horizons, new foods, new ideas... that's what I'm hoping for.
Thanks for reading and commenting and being part of my adventure!

All watched over by machines of loving grace 2007
A lovely vision of technology in this poem here by Richard Brautigan.
I do like the way the Long Now folks respond to the world and what resonates with them. (Ah! and that word - resonates - rings and reminds me to go put the album by Brian Eno of the chimes for the Clock of the Long Now on my wishlist).

Some enjoyable podcast episodes to check out 2007
Evolution 101 is a nice orderly laying out of the basics. The first episode, What Is Evolution?, and the fifth, Random or Nonrandom, have been my favorites so far of the six I've heard.
Nova ScienceNow podcast had a cool piece with Sheldon Glashow called Big Physics, all about the Large Hadron Collider and what it may tell us.
This episode of Science & The City with Alyce Santoro is super fun; I would have liked the baseline idea of a Dorkbot presentation getting picked up for national distribution in and of itself, but her project - sound fabrics - is really cool.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
