We have all this new cookware, with nothing to cook. We decided to order a pizza. |

Not because I particularly relish writing a public journal, but because I'd taken for granted how useful this weblog has been to *me* - as the "outboard brain" that folks like Cory and Chris talk about, as a point of contact (which I think Joi Ito has mentioned), and as a space where I can stick up my blatherings and get interesting feedback from a wide range of people - some of whom I know, some of whom I've never met.
