Yeah, in the absence of the sun I wonder what our universe would look like.
What kind of straw man argument is that? This is the 21st century and there
*are* better tools available for archival retrieval than than looking at two
digits on a grid, providing zero cues wrt content. If the idea is to get
strangers to read what you write, the calendar is an idiotic tool, perhaps
only slightly better than a random-number generator.

I'm positive even you can can do better than that, Eric. :-)

Frankly, the calendar thingy in blogs was a combination of lazy programming
and greed. Blogger used to charge to get an archival listing other than the
calendar, which probably requires a single DB look-up for timestamps. How
lame is that?
