Who cares when it was posted?
Over time the date links took on a
life of their own, and at one point I considered creating a page that
would link only them. Ultimately I felt, however, that these links, rather
than having an independent identity, actually only have meaning because
they are asides to an ongoing examination of something different. As additions
they add an interesting dimension to the columns, one more angle from which
to view the Boidem network. Were they to have an independent existence
they would be detached, and hardly of any interest. The events that the
date links refer to may be interesting unto themselves, but their true
meaning and significance within the context of the Boidem is precisely
the fact that they have almost randomly been chosen (almost
fallen upon), and in that way been given new meaning.
