I was at a dinner party tonight where I talked to a Washington Post reporter who told me that the Post gathered all its employees together to tell them that its going to be placing more of its resources in its online edition. Which, really, should come as no surprise to anyone who has payed any attention to the media landscape in the last five years. But hey, it's a scoop. Also, they're planning to eventually offer the online content formatted like the paper edition, meaning you'll be able to 'page through' the paper like you would a traditional newspaper. The younger people in the room didn't find this as exciting as the older generation, seeing as we're already used to 'browsing' hypertext.
Today I joined not one, but two social networking sites-- Pownce and Ravelry . I'm geeking out, even though I'm on dial-up, and am probably going to end up spending the entire weekend adding my knitting projects to Ravelry. Oh, I didn't mention is was a knitting network? Yeah, I meant it when I said I was geeking out. But not before I finish Harry Potter...
