Colleague Kevin Osborn wrote an impromptu song for the would-be futurist blogger this morning:
If I Only Had a Blog
I could broadcast my opinion
And not be just a minion
Another worthless cog,
I would not waste an hour,
I’d become a virtual power
If I only had a blog.
I would write on future topics,
Foresightful not myopic,
The world would be agog:
Write on gamers, write on genomes,
Write on China, write on new homes,
If I only had a blog.
Oh I could tell you why
The nanos will soon rule;
I could write of things that make me seem a fool,
But I’d stand firm, just like a mule.
I would be a future shamus,
And someday I’d be famous,
A prince and not a frog,
Be succinct and be frugal
I could be a hit on Google
If I only had a blog.
its a great country where you can Rage Against the Machine and coast your car to the Crest Theatre and watch Johnny Cash Walk the Line, so when it’s done you can cruise home and watch Twelve Monkeys and type in this blog.
Your audioslave
That’s easy for you to say, you don’t have to learn the difference between Ajax and Atlas again. Big beefy brawny but whose gonna win? I google earth, I flickr.
