It lives!
One of the cool things about blogging is the way that previous blog entries sometimes seem to take on a life of their own; coming back to life long after they've disappeared into the archives.
Take for instance this post from early March, in which I introduced you to the joys of "Off the Hook", a dictionary of African-American street slang, in Japanese.
I'd more-or-less forgotten about it, until new comments started appearing a couple of days ago. It turns out it was picked up by Japundit, a rather fabulous blog about Japanese culture. It then got bounced around a couple of other Japanophile blogs.
There are some fascinating comments on the original blog entry now, I especially enjoyed this rather lengthy one explaining the apparent Japanese fascination for Black American culture. It's really nice when you can learn something from your own blog!
On the subject of Previous Posts that Will Not Die, back in January I had a good old-fashioned rant about Sky's customer service (which got resolved by the way - I sent them a snotty letter and they gave me nearly 3 months of free viewing). It seems to have become a min-forum for airing Sky grievances, about once a month someone adds a comment. Even an anonymous Sky employee!

I wonder if someday my blog will start something in the average blind comunity. which, naturally, I am a part of.
