This is short simply because it points out two things...

First, I'm quite happy to find that Open Salon will now grab posts off an RSS feed and share them here. Of course, whether Blogger's idea of a correct newsfeed matches Open Salon's remains to be seen.

Second, I just went in for the heck of it to plug my birthdate into my profile...and discovered the counter only runs from 1900 to 1976.  I'm really wondering what the logic is there, considering people born in '88 are legally of-age.  (I'm going to email support about it; maybe it's just a funny glitch for my account alone that's forcing the counter to stop 1 digit below where I need it.)

Okay, a third and final comment... In case nobody is living in the kind of "interesting times" that make things like this happen: it's painful to have a tiny moth fly into your eyeball and promptly expire. (Did I crush it with my eyelid or something?)  Thankfully, that was a week or two ago, and I don't see any signs of permanent damage -- it was revolting, but not harmful, rather like the time I discovered little roach bits in the powdered tea mix at my ex's place AFTER I'd had a few cups...
