greetings from the web.

today i received several invitations, i received an automated email from oprah's book club...something or other about a new world. well i decided to skip clicking the links in the email and ask my friend corita who happened to be on msn messenger at the time. in the end i ended up signing up for this book club and for some sort of class that starts march 3rd. i have the feeling that i'm going to be just like in college...without books until the 2nd or 3rd class.jajajaja.

the other invitation i got was for some beta website called verveearth. basically the site links to your blog and sort of puts you on a google earth map. so its umm, the location of the blog. there are a couple of things that bother me. first off, its an automated message that doesn't sound very automated but got caught by the spam filter. second (and maybe more importantly), the message was sent to an email not related to the only blog i use....this one. the message only said my blog from texas caught their attention.

the only thing that i can think is that i posted those clips and added the location info on youtube. hmm, ok i think i just figured out the connection on who sold me out. anyway, i sort of like the idea. it would be nice to find some other bloggers in my area, and peruse away. i can also see it becoming scary and makes me wonder if i should be a little more cautious with what i write.

while i like the idea of reading from different parts of the world, i think it would take something away. maybe its something like the indiana jones argument. i recently saw the preview for the indiana jones, and although i still want to see it, i was a little disappointed that it looks like it will have a lot of cgi. i think the trilogy did just fine with the effects capabilities of the era, and i would much rather the new one stick to that style. (maybe excluding some of those death scenes that look funny),

so, i think i'm going to explore that site a little more and maybe sign up and set my location from some public wifi spot that is not so close to where i live.
