Snooping as usual I see?
Imagine my suprise, when googling my own name, after the bebos, flickrs and woggle news to find an unexpected entry. "Don't you just love that image by James Woldhuis?" Much cheering and sprinting into the living room would soon follow. My blog-image was featured on Blogussion.com starting an article related to aged blogging. Wowow! The article offender can be found at his blog Asnio when not at Blogussion.
Jeez, it really makes me realise how connected the internet is. Everything I write, everything I create is linked somewhere in tags by either machine or man. Or manchine. It's all traceable too. For example: some guy posted under the name John Fitzpatrick @ Blip.tv the other week on my Blip.tv blog. I found while searching for Blip.tv on Flickr some photos tagged with his name. Recognizing and intrigued I learned he owns a Blip.tv T-Shirt and partakes in paintball. Obviously he is a man of great stature and position. Following further I found the man who took (or at least uploaded) the photos has his own website. I approve of Angus' site largly from his site introduction:

"Beyond this relatively elegant homepage lie dangling links, broken
functionality and 1995-era webdesign."
It means something else to have your crap posted for all to see. It means you have to not stuff up. It is one thing to have your ideas and opinons on display for your friends, randoms and fellow bloggers, but there are people out there who are gonna take stuff away, prove you wrong or worst of all: assume you know what your doing.
