And a big hello to my co-workers, who today will be listening to me blather on about weblogging as a new technology, and speculating on some departmental uses for blogging.
The fascinating thing about blogging is that like many great web-based ideas, the technology is not very complex (a blog-publishing system is, reductively, just a few scripts that automatically formats plain text into a pre-selected HTML format, and archive old posts). The magic of blogging is because it removes the boring scut-work and leaves the blogger only the task of writing the actual posts.
This is good!
