The taste of the apple….lies in the contact of the fruit with the palate, not in the fruit itself; in a similar way…poetry lies in the meeting of poem and reader, not in the lines of symbols printed on the pages of a book. What is essential is the aesthetic act, the thrill, the almost physical emotion that comes with each reading. (Jorge Luis Borges)
This blog is two years old today, and the quote above could be read as applying to blogging also. The meeting of the writer and reader makes the thing itself, and of course in blogging of the reply and rewriting as an added dimension! It’s been great fun so far.

I’ve been meaning to congratulate you for few days now. Two years of more or less of steady pace of posting is an achievement.
Jukka,
Thanks, its been a little easier than expected some weeks are harder than others, but overall it’s been really enjoyable. It really helps me get acquainted with the Finnish Architecture scene too!
Congratulations! I love getting an insight into them there Finns… keep going! (Persistence is the key to blooging -
that and having something interesting to say.)
Sesq,
Thanks…I didn’t know you had read my blog. I’ve read yours on which you should be congratulated, although I only just discovered it! I’m going to redo my links roll when I get back from holiday, to include you and a few others who really need to be in there too….
..the bummer is that its going to be really hard to dig up these threads in the future, Egyptian blogs on walls have lasted quite well over the past few millennia but a hard-disk in the sand wont mean a whole lot to some guy generations from now..
