Is the Flux Capacitor Working?
Ten Years Ago Today…
Sunday, December 24, 2000Well, here I am. That much is for certain. (Let’s not delve into existential debate… yet).
I’ve had my own webpage since 1996, in various incarnations, some better than others. I have a complete stranger to thank for introducing me to Xanga. I believe her name is Bianca Broussard. She says she looked at my site and thought that I might work better with the weblog format, as she had discovered for herself. Not only do I agree, I had already tried to start one with Tripod, and while that had a weblog “template,” I had no idea that there was a free host dedicated to the weblog form. I am very pleasantly surprised! Now if I can only get my friend Wil (who’s a better writer than, yes, even me
to sign up and actually contribute. Well Wil here you go, I actually did it… Now I expect that Nobel material to flood the information superhighway!For the moment, you can still go survey my original site, The Realm of Enigma42. In time I hope for this weblog to become my exclusive format. Thank you Bianca!
That was as litboiler. For the none of you who are keeping score, my Xanga incarnations have been:
litboiler (December 23, 2000-May 5, 2005)
education_is_life (October 10-November 8, 2004)
jasonwrites (May 5, 2005-present)
jason_the_poet (a self-explanatory side project, first created June 5, 2001)There were others that I was involved with as a co-contributer, such as the original Xangaholics Anonymous.
It’s been an eventful (mostly fun) week in the real world but that will wait until next post.

Ahhh, Bianca.. did she ever exist? Did anyone ever get to the bottom of that?!
Yes, I was sent here by Bianca as well. Wondering, as is Morgane, if she actually ever existed or was just a marketing ploy? (Either way, it worked, eh?)
My 10 yr. Xangaversary is in April. The 11th, I believe. I’ve only had one incarnation. This one. I shall only ever have one, I think.
Merry Christmas, Jason!
