The “Four Things” Meme

Now that I’m finally spending a quiet night at home, and working hard to get through the 500 odd unread items I have in NetNewsWire (to say nothing of my unanswered email!), it’s becoming painfully apparent to me just how out of the weblog loop I am. People I once considered “light” posters are now producing three or four posts in the time it takes me to do one, and the Mac developer blogging torch seems to have been passed to a new generation of people like Daniel Jalkut, Jonathan Wight, and Blake Seely. Sigh.

The other thing about my absence from the blogosphere is that I haven’t really kept up with what all webloggers fundamentally care about: what people are saying about me! Because of this I failed to notice that Aaron Feaver tagged me with a dreaded meme! Since I’m no longer the type of blogger who has, you know, delusions of importance, I’ve decided embrace a little blog candy and run with it. And awaaaay we go!

    Fashion model?! Wow - that’s cool.

  2. Daniel Jalkut Says:

    Hey Buzz - I’m honored to be considered among the “torch bearers.” Yee haw! Not long ago I just hoped somebody would notice I had started blogging.

    But I don’t like the tone of resignation in this entry. Rejoining the weblog loop is easy enough, and we can’t carry this torch alone. Welcome back!
