I gather the weather remains pretty foul everywhere, but here in Cardiff we may live in a micro-climate.
OK, it's cold and wet, but hardly a threat to life and limb - or any kind of excuse to close schools and stay off work (much though I'd like to right now).
I guess there may be more snow on the way - and no doubt it remains pretty heavy up in the cottage (where Julie and Dandy are right now), but I just got a wet, grey Monday to contend with. Oh, actually the webcam at Pontrhydygroes shows the snow clearing, right now.
These blog entries are drifting from serious Thought for the Day, to a weird bland blend of Facebook and Twitter (and pictures of the dog).
"What RU doing right this moment?"
(typing, of course!)
Broken-down metaphors
Hey ho. I amuse my friends by using car metaphors, when I can't even drive, but I suppose I see
- websites as for stick-shift drivers
- blogs and forums for people who like automatic (less to know or think about)
- Facebook and Twitter, etc simply seem like Dodgems /Bumper cars...great fun, for some, but so limited as to be almost useless for 'transport purposes'. IMHO Although communal picture albums seem fun (you could also try Flickr).
- At least on MySpace musicians can easily upload music samples, which I like - and YouTube lets you share vids, etc
But each to their own, of course. I'd hate to sound like a snob, when I hardly devise websites (HGV license?) or write code (racing drivers?) or innovate (world land speed record?)
Metaphors always end up over-stretched, eventually - sigh.
