The Hive

My housemate says that all of blogdom is contained on a couple Apple computers somewhere in California. It amazes me that each time I press the "publish" button, tiny circuits are being rearranged on the other side of the continent. Something about all those messages from all those people being stored in a couple of hard drives reminds me of the movie the Matrix. But it's all backwards--we're supposed to be breaking free of the hive!
