technology-related post

As an experiment, Today's post was intended to be a bit of the bard, courtesy of www.poemhunter.com -

Ah, Poetry.

Sonnet 103: Alack, what poverty my Muse brings forth

Alack, what poverty my Muse brings forth,
That having such a scope to show her pride,
The argument all bare is of more worth
Than when it hath my added praise beside.

O, blame me not if I no more can write!

Look in your glass, and there appears a face
That overgoes my blunt invention quite,
Dulling my lines, and doing me disgrace.
Were it not sinful then striving to mend,
To mar the subject that before was well?
For to no other pass my verses tend
Than of your graces and your gifts to tell;
And more, much more than in my verse can sit,
Your own glass shows you when you look in it.

So there's the poem. And don't you know what? When I punched up poemhunter to help me with expressing myself in this blog/23things/online life stuff, I found something else new - something else that can be the subject of a "technology-related" post.

(because otherwise the technology that I find most intriquing is really simple syndication - when one has the web do the work for them, ie, rss feeds which can deliver up-to-date news on selected topics) ((but that's next week))

I was redirected off poemhunter to MOLI - www.moli.com Which seems to me to be another new and fun "social networking" site ala 46 things I'd like to do one day etc. It's got music, it's got friends spaces and there's a commerce area wherein the tagline is "Control Your Privacy" - so it's a social site for small businesses to create like personalized ebay store pages as well as network. Wow, where have I heard this idea before? It's got a cool graphic look and might be worth checking out...
