Link Spree.

I visited a blog I found in LOM's follow-list, Color Me Katie, (who never fails to inspire me with her random acts of color) where I saw her High Five Escalator post, which took me to the Improv Everywhere site, where I relived my own Melbourne Fringe Festival memories of years ago, and thought of my friend Meg's project Display Purposes Only which I haven't forgotten that she sent me shirts for and I never, ever, ever did a damn thing with them. Oh, and I thought about being naked with 4.500 other people, which was still some of the most fun I have ever had. Thinking about Meg made me visit Land of Meg, which made me learn more about the blogger who made her think about Meg Later, Now. This made me curious about one of his twitters, which took me to this guy, whom I'm still confused about. Which also took me to Wunderings, which took me to Swiss Miss, who I spent quite a bit of time with, before she dropped me off at charity:water, which made me wonder what PJ thinks of this kind of water activism. Which made me look at their Twestival, which I forwarded to some people in the online marketing department at work, because I hadn't seen Twitter used quite that way before. Twitter always makes me think of Facebook statuses. Especially since I read this New York Times Magazine article about them last Sunday (which I found pretty unsatisfying for an interesting topic, but I still am thinking about the article, mostly the parts that were left unwritten).

Which made me check my friends' statuses - which made me notice that the quarterly journal that my poet-friend Mark edits has been updated, which made me read the work. Especially this work whose words and images were so powerful and made me think so deeply that I just didn't even know who to send them to... or why. Which made me think about the Newspaper Blackout poems of Austin Kleon, a link to which I posted for my poet-friend, and an image of one I sent to my newspaper man(see above). Oh, and I forwarded a link to another to a colleague as sound advice for a marriage.

All this linking managed to keep me in between productive thoughts for most of the day, in a zen-like state of surfer's bliss. Oh, and I changed my image on Skype, courtesy of wikipedia - Rocinante - Steinbeck's caravan. Delicious.
