Everybody tune in six months from now, when ari discovers lolcats.

Hey, it takes time to become aware of all internet traditions.

From the headline, I was hoping this would be about how James Garfield’s family dealt with his assassination.

Maybe I should have said “Ari FTW.”

Wow, that lolcats thing is really cute.

I’m toying with an interpretation in which Garfield represents the deceptively casual historical core matter of the blog, and Jon represents jokes, kvetching and Muppets.

This is cool, but I just discovered that you can now send electronic letters — or “el-mail,” I think they call it — over the intertubes now.
What a wondrous age in which we live!
