Announcing another link...

I have never been especially close to Taran. It's not as if I don't like him, I do. But I don't see him much, and when I do he's busy living his own life, as he should be. Since I've discovered his blog, however, I have a way to let him be himself, in my sight, and get to know him that way.

I still think of him as a kid, until I try to follow his travels. I find this person talking about things that never crossed my mind. True, some of the technical stuff is optional for me, but a lot of his political stuff is about things I don't give a thought to. When I read his posts I have to ask myself why I haven't given thought to these ideas, and I realize they're just from another world. A digital world. And mostly a third world. Here are my eyes into that world!
