My blog was apparently cited in, of all places, the Star Tribune’s Roadguy Blog (devoted mostly to local transportation issues) because of an observation I wrote about Nicollet Mall way back in 2004. This completely validates my fear that one day, when I’m running for office or being considered for some prestigious political appointment, some hack will dig through the archives and wave about some post that I wrote at two in the morning after a wee too much chardonnay. Because the internet never forgets. In fact, some computer scientists think that a certain amount of forgetfulness should be built into our digital world. Some selective amnesia applied to this blog would probably save me some embarrassment, but it would also remove the most interesting entries. I guess I’ll just have to take my chances.
