Ish
Discovered on Me(ish):
This site is a digital approximation of self. It’s a lot like me, and contains lots of bits of me, but it isn’t actually me. If you read or see anything here and think that you know exactly who I am based on that, then you’re sadly wrong. It’s not me. It’s me(ish).
I stumbled upon Me(ish) looking for an appropriate Anti-Valentine to send some one. (She will not be getting an Anti-Valentine after all, since the site’s server seems unable to handle the demand for A-Vs. Rest assured, if you are reading this and you were the intended recipient of the A-V, the sentiment still holds.) Anyway, I started nosing around and found the above description of the relationship btw self and blog-self and found it appealing. I like the (perhaps unintended) pun on the word "bits" (in techspeak and regular speak) in the second sentence.
The blog as approximate self–another metaphor we use to describe our relation to things and technology. There’s something to this metaphor jazz after all. . .
