Yikes! I'm in.

It is really interesting to think that this will be floating in space. There is the sense of intimacy yet the understanding that one is out in the world for all to see. The analogy that comes to mind is that this is like a person in an interview room with one of those huge, mirrored walls. They are alone looking at themselves in the mirror. They can't see beyond the mirror, only their reflection, but they know someone could be looking in, yet they never know if, when or who. I sit in my easy chair typing away, never knowing who or when someone will read this. At some point in time, since there will probably be little feedback, the aloneness, the intimacy, of the medium might seduce one into saying what they would not otherwise commit to print. This could be dangerous and fun.
