I like the sound of my own voice. Persistent life narrative. I added up what I've written on this thing since last November and arrived at 75,000 words (note, this is a mere pittance compared with the likes of the evil Broadband Blogger). There's so much stuff now that I've written things that I don't remember writing. Someone could break into my site, add entire posts and there's a chance I'd just accept that I wrote the bogus postings myself, false meta-memories.
That's freaky, I mean I'd obviously remember if I spent the night in jail, slept with Claudia Schiffer (thanks Claudie baby, glad you enjoyed it so much), and had my own TV show, so very obviously false postings wouldn't work but someone who knew a little bit about me could fake-up something that was relevant to my life/job/self and I probably wouldn't notice.
In saying that, I don't know, maybe I would notice the fake posts but you know what I mean, other people writing ourselves into existence. I don't know about you but I don't read my archives very often, if at all, so someone could fabricate a whole load of stuff and I probably wouldn't notice for months. One of David Weinberger's tips on becoming a guru is to keep backdating your weblog. There's nothing to stop me going back to the week before Worldcom crashed and faking a post about Worlcom being just about to crash and that you'd better get your stocks out pronto. Spoon bending. Extra Sensory Blogging.
