Now I am somebody!

Okay, it's not really that exciting to anybody except me: glassrope's made it onto Google, Yahoo! & AltaVista. Hell, yes! This rocks! Honestly, I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk, when he gets his name in the phonebook! All day I've been wandering around singing to myself: "I'm picking out a thermos for you!"

Oh well…simple minds, simple pleasures, no? ^_^

In other site-related news, my fledgling connect page has a new addition. Yup, in order to be multi-interconnective, I've hopped over & gotten myself a Yahoo! Instant Messenger ID as well. So, now instant communication with me can occur in three separate forms. Feel free to utilize them, okay?

Some cool links & new glassrope stuff…

• First things first: my connect page is up! What's on it? Well, I've got a nifty little guestbook, plus my email address, ICQ # and AOL (blecch!) Instant Messenger handle. Why? Because I enjoy talking to people. So, feel free to give me your opinions of the site (be kind…& if you can't be kind, at least be tactful) or just to get in contact with me, 'kay?

• So, I get home from work on Monday & waiting for me on AIM is a message that, surprisingly, is not a solicitation for porn. Instead, it's from Cleo's Apartment, an unsigned band out of Des Moines, Iowa, asking me to check out their tunes. I did, & they're pretty good in a spacy, jazzy, smart & hip-hop kinda way.

• Are you one of those borderline obssessive individuals who judges a movie more by its continuity than anything else? I am, sometimes, & this page caters to such people…caters to us with a vengeance.

• Personally, I'm a technophile. I walk around most of the day vaguely disappointed that here it is the year 2001 & I have no flying car & am not hanging out on a space station. However, every now & again something comes along that makes me think I might not be as far away from meeting George Jetson as I think.

• On a final, serious note, the folks over at The Morning News are, apparently, going through a rough time. For those of you who don't know, TMN is one of the finest digests of smart, often (but not exclusively) web-related news around. So drop by, join the update mailing list and make sure you wish Bill a heartfelt "Get well soon."
