an amateur attempt at the blog phenomenon and a way to give people an idea of life in whitehorse, yukon, sarah and jole style...

i feel special

back when this blog started i made it one of my missions to get it listed in the "frequently read" side bar on my friend darren barefoot's very popular blog. Today, as i'm reading his site here at work...i noticed a link to the "gone north" blog. mission accomplished! not only that, but darren dedicated an entire entry. looking at the comments, it seems people have some strong feelings about whitehorse!

for those of you who haven't seen Darren's blog, at worst it's a terribly entertaining work distraction and at best it's going to keep you on the cutting edge of geekdom (and that's not an insult). Even though when it comes to the tech end of things i haven't the faintest idea what the discussion is about, (for example: "Ah, the serendipity of Flickr RSS feeds for tags." huh?) the other posts will keep you in touch with the cultural zeitgeist.

oh yeah, and darren's a hard core ultimate player.

(i've always wanted to use to word "zeitgeist" in public so make that 2 missions accomplished in 1 day!)

I feel pretty special to be included on darren's "frequently read" list too. Nice to hear your take on the move up north... Why don't you have a sidebar?

hey Joel,
visited Darren's blog and got lost in cross references to other blogs, and other blogs and still other blogs. Feel like i took a trip around the world!
just emailed you my race report for the marathon.
sounds like you guys are ready to do some strange and horrible things to that cat. glad to see you've drawn the line at denying it all human contact!
talk to you soon

hey claire,
yeah, it's quite an extensive blog.

way to go on the marathon. You can so go 3:30 in london with a 1:42 second half split! that's incredible! looking forward to reading your race report.
