Starting from Scratch

I have no idea if this web-log (which is what the word blog was created from) will become anything viable, but it's sort of neat to make one--like a macaroni-covered box that your teacher would spray with golden spray paint.

Somehow, the extra glitter made whatever was inside that much more important.

I think that's how people see the web...as a box they put something ordinary into and cover with pizzazz, thereby raising the level of importance of the content probably to one much higher than it might have had, say, if it was said during a drunken stupor at a party. Or put out at a garage sale. Or taken out of a fortune cookie and left on the restaurant table as insignificant, and inappropriate.
