What good is the internet if it doesn't become a part of you?
My website, simonjoseph.ca, recently was shut down. The owner hadn't been paying his bills. I first built the site in college for a business of music class. It was fun to imagine its potential for growth, even as i received my grade on the assignment.
I value internet presence. Internet relations. First, email became a neat way to quickly communicate across the world. Next came the conversation arenas that are msn and icq (and others). Facebook gave us a bulletin board to pin up public or private messages or photos. Twitter, with its deliciously creative restriction that our postings must only use post-it notes.
Lately, I've used the internet more as an observer.
