Zen metaphors

I love Zen metaphors:

Ah, the Zen of word processors is the sound of one mind typing. Let's face it, we want something that will rock and roll right along with our flying fingers. Jack Kerouac typed On the Road on spools of telegraph paper. His thoughts flew so fast that changing pages in the typewriter was a major hindrance. That’s what we want our word processors to be like. Large spools of paper that let us work uninterrupted. If the program slows us down, be it in spell checking, diagramming, or just plain old typin', then it needs to be replaced. (Zach Brookheart)

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
