The Open Salon stands accused of breaching the laws of physics, in particular those related to time.  Is the OS operating in some parallel universe which manages to wrong-foot the real world?  I believe it it.

Otherwise how to explain that when I sit down at my computer for fifteen minutes to check in and read a post or two, or maybe make a comment here or there, I find myself interrupted mid-blog because the pizza is burning, the dog has been outside for an hour, or I'm late picking someone up from soccer practice?  To my amazement I find that fifteen minutes OS time has morphed into more than an hour in real time.  How does this happen?

The only explanation seems to be that in the blogosphere the laws of time and space as we know them do not exist.  Time warps ahead as I travel from post to comment to favorite to discovering someone new.  Alas, I fear there is no solution to this paradox.

I'm haunted by the rent in the fabric of time through which the unexplored depths of the OS can be tantalisingly glimpsed.  There will never be enough real time to catch up.
