Mark the date

If you're like me, it goes like this:

First you go here, to papersky's post.

Then you read the post she links to in [livejournal.com profile] sfwa.

Then you decide having an LJ or two makes you by definition a pixel-stained technopeasant.

Then you glory in it on April 23rd.

Who's in?

(Truthfully, I sympathize with those who feel the internet is Ruining It All, and I have always loved the Lead Pencil Club, especially the line in their manifesto that says "If our computers develop a virus, we will not seek a cure." But I love those things hypocritically, because being online has been huge in my life, and has helped me create the life and the art that I love.)

So the short translation of Hendrix's rant is "How dare you be more successful than me?"
