jean mentioned on his blog this essay by momus about blogging. it's an interesting read, especially his call for more photoblogs. i've been wanting to do a related blog to robot action boy that will be just of the various photos i've used on robot action boy, or snapshots i've taken that i just never got around to using on robot action boy. my concern is that the images are located on a server that will shut down if more than ten people view the images at the same time. of course, this begs the question will there ever be more than ten people viewing those images when i finally get around to setting up that photoblog? probably not, but i like to consider these things before getting started.

but to get back to the momus essay, while reading it, it reminded me that there was a time when i would see people and think to myself s/he should be my friend. it was just a feeling i got from certain people. but these days i rarely register such a thought. i'm not sure if that is just because i am older, or i just can't be bothered with other people as much or just a case of living in taiwan. the last time i even slightly thought this was maybe a year ago(or longer) when i saw these guys on the mrt(subway) carrying some yo la tango vinyl. i've never been a big fan of yo la tango, but seeing people with vinyl always brings a smile to my face. i didn't talk to them, but it was nice to see people that didn't appear to be quite as homogenous as everyone else.
