Saturday, January 14, 2006And thus does Craig dip his toes into the luke warm water of the blogosphere.

But wait! What was that noise? A delicate tearing at first, then a full scale rending sound heard throughout computerland!

As usual, Craig had gone too far. His Blog-A-Rama was one blog too many.

It had to happen, sooner or later. Ten zillion blogs, pushing and straining against each other. The Internet couldn't hold them anymore. The blogosphere erupted, spewing forth opinions and cute pet pictures upon the unsuspecting computerized masses. Some were drowned in right wing rhetoric. Some perished in left-leaning psychobabble. And all too many were buried under endless family outings!

Surprisingly, there were some benefits. The spammers were struck first, buried with their enlarged members, super-cheap software and money that they just had to get out of Kenya. But then the info-flood continued to spread.

Some had said that blogs were everywhere. Now their words were truer still.

But maybe, if we head for the high ground, we'll be spared! Everyone's safe when they take the high ground, aren't they? It has worked for politicians, supreme court judges, movie stars -- surely it will help the single working folk like you and I!

What's that I feel around my ankles? Isn't it getting a little close in here?

Glub.
