Noah's big cloth butt tickles me pink, by the way.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

At some point in the future, I wonder how much these two are going to HATE the fact that their daily life has been exposed on the internet?
I wonder that, too. I might get lucky and they'll be exhibitionists and won't care.
I'm partial to Noah in the boppy.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I think that many of their friends will have had similar exposure and that the other children will be saying to their parents, "Why wasn't I on the internet? Didn't you love me?"

Besides, the Buffista kidlets will all be talking about their weird parents to their friends online, too. It's genetic. Or environmental.

I know I've read this article about what happens when good online communities go bad. In fact, I bet I followed a link from here.
It's really nothing new, except this line
Many's the time I've found myself neglecting a warm bed, a hot meal, or a chance to go out for a cup of coffee with a friend in order to answer some mean-spirited note from some 16-year-old mouth-breather who achieves transcendence only through pointless debate with strangers.
totally cracked me up in a too-close-to-home way since I can't. let. things. go. when I should.

You know it's funny, but what we have in place seems fairly effective to fend off trolls. But it requires a community buy-in that wouldn't work everywhere.

Was Doctorow the one that wrote the article about how online communities evolve? That came up this weekend and I would love to re-read.
