Interview Aftermath--Cont'd

It sure is nice to have someone like Elaine in your corner. Her spirited support of free will vs. determinism is music to my ears. She lends the note of passion that is lacking in my fumbling attempts at articulating such matters.

Then, in a follow-up post, she shares a moving bit of self-searching into her quick-to-anger resentment of male authority. Elaine at her best. We're so lucky to have her voice.

Thanks to Hylton Jolliffe for the quote from Frank's interview which appeared in yesterday's edition of Corante on Blogging---Hylton's recent addition to the Corante site. What a great service he's providing to the blogosphere! His welcome new contribution makes it easier for us to keep up with the blog scene.

Thanks also for the mention from such blogging luminaries as Doc Searls, Steve Pilgrim, Steve MacLaughlin, and Denise Howell. Denise, a fellow survivor of the Paynter interview process, sends a much-appreciated note via Frank's Comments section: "congrats on matriculating with high honors!" I wonder if, come Halloween, Frank might consider throwing a hayride and wiener roast for an alumni get-together on his Wisconsin farm (airfare included, Frank).

Finally, Frank emails that we made number 25 on the Daypop Top 40 yesterday. But as I predicted, the slide back to obscurity is already underway.. We're now in a four-way tie for 30th and dropping. By tomorrow it will probably all be a fond memory.
