So I was going to write a rebuttal of the blog entry I just read. It was a standard piece of technical hyperbole, so beloved of us “big picture developers.” Beginning at a false assertion, this blog entry took us forward to a glorious future, where programming is simple and we are all safe and happy, because of the wonderous wonderfulness of Technology Foo. Not that I’ve ever written anything like that myself, every couple of months right here on this blog * cough *.
Like I said, I was going rebut this offensive article, but my darling wife happened to peer over my shoulder and read a paragraph. She said, “That doesn’t make sense. It’s just a lot of big words all strung together.” And of course she was right – it was merely a wierd, esoteric pontification, and my nit-picking counter-argument would have been pure vanity. So I’m not going to get involved with the futile and insignificant, not tonight anyway. I think I’ll go watch Law and Order intead.

So you're not blogging this flame of another bloggers blog, and to blog something after all you blog this. Admirable I must say.
I just finished reading Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," if that helps explain anything.
Heh. I just finished "Three Men in a Boat", and was(*) about to start "The Picture of Dorian Gray." I had decided I needed to read something other than sci-fi novels for a while :)
* unfortunately, Paul Dubois just sent me a copy of "The Mote in God's Eye" (ah, happy Roundup users ;).
