This is the personal web log of David E. Anderson. It resides on the Well , where I have been a member since it opened in 1985, and is written using Blogger . Like most bloggers I write to point out what I find interesting or funny. I've done this for a while. For the most part I point and comment rather than write at length.
Most posts are about Net life, music, and current events.
I named my personal ezine several years ago and still like the title, even if everyone has gone meta. I forage on the Net and a lot of things are metaphors. Gregory Bateson talked a lot about metaphors and influenced me a lot, so the title followed. You may notice Oracle Corporation and its offspring appear fairly often - I worked there for more than ten years on database software, interactive TV, network computing, and online education systems. It's risky to mention this, because Oracle means different things to different people.
