Virtual Memories

I want to write about writing today. Today marks the one-year anniversary of Virtual Memories, a mark I’m proud of. The very first entry was just a silly note to see how this whole Blogger-setup worked. Since then, I’ve written about a ton of subjects, and sometimes I’ve done written pretty well.

I want to thank everyone who’s read my entries, even those of you who only ended up here because of the vagaries of search engines. (Who knew that there are only nine pages in the Internet that Google will refer you to if you enter “Michael Imperioli goatee,” and that VM is one of them?)

Neat article at BusinessWeek about how Dean’s collapse mirrors the dot-com bubble. Compare and contrast with this Washington Post article about how Dean’s campaign sidestepped the traditional organizational structure of the Democratic party. I guess you could substitute “sidestepped the traditional bricks-and-mortar retail structure” for that part, if you want to feel like it’s 1999 all over again.
