first post - recursive

Recursive can be anagrammed into revise u c, r? OK, that might be stretching it. "Revise, you see ... or?" translates nicely as an invitation to write. 4 weeks of a National Writing Project summer invitational institute and I've got recursion on my mind. Circular, spiraling. Life, writing, programming, parenting, spirituality. Seem to all fit in that movement of non-linearity, progress that weaves.

Could I sound any more pretentious? Oi.

Talk about recursiveness...this program has been revised into a piece of art. Ya know the kind of program that works so intuitively that you find yourself saying, "Hey, I wonder if it does this?" and it always does. Better than you thought it could. Dream program. Now that's good writing.

Course one could always anagram recursive (and no, "anagram" is not a verb) into a Yoda-esque metaphysical query: "Revise r u, c?" Gargle a bit in the throat, get that Frank Oz malleable voice and say, "Revise are you ... see?" So one becomes not a revision, not a product -- one becomes the verb. Revise am I, see? Definitely getting late. Definitely didn't need that cup of green tea at 10pm.

I also really enjoy the idea of a group blog mostly because I've always been a fan of group blogs a la 37signals. It's a different take on things that I tend to enjoy, getting to see different opinions, group dynamics, etc., http://jennifermorrisonnude3.typepad.com jennifer morrison nude, nepw, http://katewinsletsexscenerb.tumblr.com kate winslet sex scene, vdf, http://fnudesnakedcsex.insanejournal.com neha dhupia hot, cvg, http://avrillavignesexvideo1.typepad.com avril lavigne sex video, 8215, http://jenniferlovehewitttoplessnz.tumblr.com jennifer love hewitt topless, %PPP, http://janetjacksonnakediw.freeforums.org janet jackson naked, >:[[[, http://ruelzenak.livejournal.com JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT BOOBS, %-)),

One condition would be that the groupblog would adopt your style. Similar to how the headfirst books have the same style but different writers. If you join the 37signals blog where you put up highly visual articles, in a see of more textual posts, you will still stand out., http://bnudexnakedksex.insanejournal.com mariah carey sex tape, =-]], http://chelseahandlernudeaw.tumblr.com chelsea handler nude, 710, http://tnudednakedzsex.insanejournal.com alexis dziena nude, 269634, http://renaldoxaxib.livejournal.com ANGELINA JOLIE FUCKING, 845, http://leamichelehotdk.tumblr.com lea michele hot, 59589, http://kellybrooknaked3.typepad.com kelly brook naked, uuimi, http://kaufmannufi.livejournal.com DENISE MILANI HOT, vouwn,

Honestly said, I don't think you can do anything to fend off the attacks. I don't think you got attacked because of something you did, but because lots of people admire you and your work. That's apparently enough for some people to hate you. Only by unpassionating your readers, can you hope to actually stop the haters.

It makes sense about not continuing with "business as usual" — I couldn't do it, either. But I can't see ghost writing as being satisfiying for someone with as strong a voice as yours. Being an evangelist for the likes of Apple or Adobe might be cool, but would that let you continue with the stream of consciousness riffs that have obviously been satifsying for you — and been so energizing for us, your readers?

I think that you'd probably do well in a consulting role where you are helping companies who want to improve in the area of creating passionate users (products and websites). Your knowledge of the field is shown well by your blogging, and maybe getting out in front of people will give you more of a reason to stay passionate about this subject area (if not the blog itself)., http://mallikasherawathot2.typepad.com mallika sherawat hot, 8-[, http://wnudennakedlsex.insanejournal.com candice swanepoel nude, =-PP, http://danniiminoguenudene.freeforums.org dannii minogue nude, hmswkj, http://parishiltonnudepics2.typepad.com paris hilton nude pics, vpgwxm, http://marilynmonroenudesq.freeforums.org marilyn monroe nude, ojpah, http://rickertyta.livejournal.com MIRANDA KERR HOT, 4938,

I hate to see us lose your input but I wonder if simply publishing articles with no comments enabled and having a members-only forum wouldn't be a good compromise.

Having said all of that, I wonder if Ande's idea isn't the best (regardless of what format you choose to go with for the blog). If it was still public with no comments, but you cross-posted entries in a private forum, you could allow people to respond and discuss in a controlled/private environment, but still keep the blog itself public. I'm not sure how much extra work that would be for you, but if it was negligible I would say that's the best option for running your site the way you have and seem to love, but keeping the riffraff at bay., http://khloekardashiannakedgu.freeforums.org khloe kardashian naked, %-], http://selenagomezporn2.typepad.com selena gomez porn, xzyh, http://rnudebnakedesex.insanejournal.com trish stratus sex, :[[, http://tnudeynakednsex.insanejournal.com angelina jolie tits, =[, http://qnudegnakedosex.insanejournal.com catherine zeta jones sex scene, aafp, http://janetjacksonbreast1.typepad.com janet jackson breast, pxsrz, http://helenhuntnudezv.tumblr.com helen hunt nude, 791048, http://shilpashettyhot3.typepad.com shilpa shetty hot, red, http://christinaaguileranaked2.typepad.com christina aguilera naked, 9116,
