Metabloging

I keep saying that my web site isn't a blog. That is becoming less and less true with every page I add regardless of whether it's a snippet or not. This entry is a metablog. It's a blog about blogs. Observe.

On Planet Lisp, a blog aggregator, Richard Cook's blog entry, "Joel is influential, we must assimilate him" appears:

Bill pointed out Joel Spolsky saying "I had to install Lisp in a Box and start working through Seibel's new book on Common Lisp until my brain started functioning again." What I find interesting is that the number of links to Lisp In A Box on Delicious' lisp tag has really shot up the past couple of days. Expect a newbie mini-flood on c.l.l.

Further down on the Planet Lisp page is Bill's own blog entry. I know it would take up more space and offer more to read, but Bill's entry is long enough (and includes an image) that I'm not going to bother quoting it inline here. Just go see Lisp is the red pill.

Of course to make this a proper metablog entry, I have to add something of my own. But it must not be original. It must be a repackaging of something else or a link to something else. I chose to do the latter. Here is the origin of the phrase, "Lisp is the red pill."
