Intel Macs

Intel mac? I'll be buying one.

It's 2 months after installing Windows XP over Windows 2000
Already the desktop (explorer) is crashing daily.
I expect it's a registry problem.
I refuse to buy 3rd party software to fix an operating system that should just work.

I'm actually holding off on buying CD/DVD burning software because I'll just buy a mac version later.

And now that the intel macs will install windows, I'll buy one of those.
Hopefully I'll never need to install windows.
Just insurance.
Good riddance to Microsoft.
They disgust me.

Lack of Comments

A handful of people from my community (church) are bloggers. Oftentimes, they have wonderful posts that I would expect to spark a great conversation.
In person, I am sure conversation would ensue.

But on the blogs, comments are sparse.

I wouldn't see this as a problem if I thought that only 2 or 3 people were reading the blogs. But I know there are more.

So, what are the reasons that more people don't comment more often?
Would having a community (church) blog help?

I'd like to have an international community/audience on our blogs. But I'd rather keep a local focus.

Maybe having a common blog would make posting comments more comfortable?

If people disagree with a post of mine, I'd rather they comment and we discuss, than they hold back.
It's just not fun to post something you consider is deep or meaningful, and nobody comments.

Maybe more people would do this on a community blog.

Maybe a blog that was a combination of Blog, IRC, and Instant Messaging:

  • The post/comment format of a blog.
  • The community prescence of IRC, but not the short message entry length, or disorganization of cross talk.
  • The quick response of IM notification when there is a new post.

Something that encourages deliberate, organized, low-latency conversation, with a communal feel that immerses you in conversation.

About me.

I am SO messed up.
Ugh!
And it just makes me love God more.
