The inescapable weirdness of being
Derek, one of those hardy souls trying to mentor me into the 21st c, forwards a most peculiar URL, for a site that promises to catch those nogoodniks plagiarizing my online material. Kind of a Turnitin.com for the blogosphere. A while back, Collin tipped me off to Technorati, which accomplishes much the same work but does not specify IP concerns.
Today's the solstice, see—the closest that we come to a religious holiday at Rancho Howard. In commemoration of which, we cracked open a nice bottle of champagne and scarfed same. It's been awhile since I drank anything, mainly cuz I either don't drink or I drink too much. Most of the time I find the effects of drinking too much to be simply unpleasant; hence habitual abstinence. But of course on a holiday, one has an obligation to intemperance.
But three glasses of champagne just make Turnitin.blog—er, Copyscape—seem even weirder.
