There are as many realities as there are people on earth. And more. For every living thing that perceives, it exists in a reality separate to anything else. My reality is different to yours, and your reality is different to mine. And the reality of an ant that narrowly avoids our feet as we unknowingly step on his brother, is completely different to that of the bee that flies around the flowers collecting whatever it is that bees collect.
My reality is different to that of a person living in Iraq, or traveling in London right now on a subway train.

I've been dealing with a particular engineer today at a particular northern branch of the particular company I work for. He wanted to be notified when any spam sent to him is blocked by our email firewall, particularly when the spam is from legitimate senders.
Now, the funny thing about this is, if we notified people that a spam email has been blocked, why the hell bother blocking it? The notification is 'spam' as well!
spam: unwanted email (usually of a commercial nature) sent out in bulk)

I started this blog on June 27 2005, so I've been doing it for around 5 weeks now - and enjoying it immensely! I love the ease of use of it.
Anyway, I've been doing this as a record of my life - and by 'this' I mean 'online journaling' - for almost 7 years now. I started in November 1998 and this has become the third version of the evolution of my online journal. (Second version here.)
As of today, I'm changing how I'm doing my online journaling.
