The ways of the blogosphere are mysterius and wonderful.

I was just reading a post on Snarky Bytes, about pre/post internet life. The writing was spurred by this post from RobertaX, on roughly the same subject.
Roberta picked it mostly from Tamara, But also noticed Dr. Helen blogging on the same topic. In addition, Squeaky had her own comments to make on the subject as well.

It all started with my own post, written when my DSL went away on a dark and stormy night (very literally).

Thus, the magic of the internet and the blogosphere is revealed. My little depressed fit of angst, has been used to generate some remarkably well written and well thought out posts, then coming full circle back to me as a soothing balm to a needy (nerdy?) soul.

(BTW.... my spell check now recognizes 'Blogosphere', and 'Snark' without comment.)

If you are reading through all those posts I linked above, be sure to read the comments. There is more than one kind of family....

On the internet, you get to choose your family............
