Tokyo jumper blog entry

Postby Taro Toporific » Thu Mar 04, 2004 1:44 pm

I've watched four jumpers in Japan do it but this one takes some sort of prize....

Same Planet, Different World SeriesTokyo – 11:31am
Picture, if you will, a stuffy room on the 20th floor of the Nakano-Sakaue Sunbright twin south tower. A dull thud echoes up through the steel skeleton of girders clad in glass...
....A French bakery, windows spotted pink and red, full of patrons. They sit, eating their patisseries calmly surveying the carnage. Cultural shock offends the senses. Exactly what are these people thinking as they masticate?

I really feel sorry for kids that have to see that shit. That would fuck somebody up for a long time. Why can't assholes that want to die just do it quietly at home.

Question: What the fuck is a Blog? I keep seeing this word. I'm just not hip to all the internet slang. It took me forever to figure out LOL and BTW or is it BWT? I don't know....

Blog = Web Log -basically an online diary of dubious importance. Everything from sideline political commentary to teenage angst-ridden lunacy can be found on Blogs across the net. Maybe some of our own Bloggers will post here to tell us more about it and give us some links to the more FG-style ones.

Mutated abbreviation of "Web Log", I think.

Web + log = weblog

Shorten that and presto "BLOG".

Isn't NSFW a Fark-ism or did it come from the usenet?

Me too! That's why I use iBlog and Adobe GoLive. I only have to muck about in HTML if I want to really tweak something specific. I can do it if I need to, but I don't really need much coding to get my site to work properly.

One other code related blog pivot is really a good tool. It doesn't require a database like movable type, it's quite powerful and relatively easy to use.
They released v1 last month.
