Back in Black

Last June I noticed that most of my blog posts were comparisons, to which I attributed a sort of kitsch.

Kitsch, according to Milan Kundera’s book The Unbearable Lightness of Being, defined it as “the absolute denial of shit.” I hoped to poke some fun at the GIS programmers’ feuding over paradigms / languages / libraries by presenting a world-view like Kundera’s kitsch, where “all answers are given in advance and preclude any questions.”  

Hence I embraced a cloying battle meme, and elevated my level of distasteful sarcasm.  Today, I’ve finally grown tired of this faux personality, and have accumulated a few ideas I’d like to post in a more traditional format.  In other words, I’m going back to normal.  Wish me luck.

PS:  WordPress’s spell check doesn’t recognize the word “blog”. “Biog” and “bldg” are suggested alternatives.  Just a note for anyone hoping my sarcasm would disappear overnight.
