The Observer had a cartoon a while back where these guys in a coffee shop are chatting and one says to the other “So, half way through dinner she googled me on her blackberry and found my ex-girlfriend’s blog so that was pretty much that”.  His friend replies “do you know that three of those terms didn’t even exist five years ago?”

So, I was playing with the computer and I saw this post from Fluid Pudding and I said to my loving spouse “guess what Jeff gave Angela?”.  And he said “eh, who, what?” because he is not as up on my computer stalkees as I would like.  “A ticket to the blogHer thingy” I said.  And he said “eh, who, what?” and I explained that it was this conference that everyone was going to and I would like to go too and he looked at me blankly.  “Off you go then, nobody’s stopping you”.   There are times when this whole independent woman thing palls.  Somehow, I feel that I will not be going to California at the end of July.
