Look at Brian and his fancy schmancy video technology. What's next? Laser guided blogs? Blogs that write themselves? A blog revolution, in which blogs become sentient and rise up and destroy their writers?

Speak of which, Cam sent me this email yesterday, presented here verbatim so you can see how lazy I am:

"I've been reading your blog again and decided that you should update the template you use (your current one is a little stale). In addition, you should get rid of you HaloScan comments and use the default blogger comments. There's also a widget that you can put on your page with allows people to follow your blog. I would totally follow yours, but you've got no widget. Get the widget. That is all."

Two things. One, what other blog regularly cuts and pastes emails that its writers get? That, like Brian said, is the kind of transparency we promise to bring to this new government of the Irreverent Times Journal. Two, that email sounds like a LOT of work. But I'll look into some options, get some price quotes, try to find some contractors, and see if such changes are a viable option in today's economy. So stay tuned, maybe, because it's possible, possibly, that there's a chance, kind of, that we might fiddle around with these ideas and make this thing the blog of the FUTURE (read: present, not five years ago)!!!
