And on the eleventh day comcast installed wireless internet and Lisa created the weblog. And all of the online readership saw that it was good.

A week and a half and four tech support calls later, I finally have a blog! Don’t think it came easily, though…among other things the wonder that is Doorknob Ankle Blog came at the price of getting locked out of the apartment at 11:15 this morning in my pjs and climbing onto the third floor porch, only to find I had locked the back door as well, and finally having the cable guy manage to unlock the door using his screwdriver–and wow, did that make me feel confident about the security of my apartment.

Regardless, here sits the blog in all of it’s newly-formed glory, awaiting only some inspired content from its owner. Rest assured, the inspiration is coming.

My plan for the blog is a mixture of Overheard in New York-like vignettes (which I will start to write down in a notebook expressly for that purpose soon), a continuation of the interesting word theme, and any generally interesting articles/thought which may crop up.

Thought for the day: Ping bells everywhere!!!

I have noticed an over-abundence of ping bells in my life of late. Not that I’m complaining, mind you, after all I love ping bells and for my part have even added to the profusion of ping bells. In the past month or so I have noticed ping bells: at the women’s exchange in Williamstown, MA; at the Boston Public Library; in the Boston University School of Medicine payroll office; and most notably, while rummaging through a drawer of experimental testing materials in my office at work.

Whoa, ping.

The abundance of ping bells in my life of late leads me to wonder: is this the world’s way of telling me that it is time to shut the fuck up?
