we've been congratulating ourselves for surviving the holidays again. coming home felt so strange, from missing white walls and mostly bare floors so much. i picked up the big cat and freaked my back out again. remind me to tell you how i threw my back out for comics. thank goodness i'm not moving for a while.

now i find out there is a man who wants to decapitalized "Internet."

Capitalization irked him because, he said, it seemed to imply that reaching into the vast, interconnected ether was a brand-name experience.

"The capitalization of things seems to place an inordinate, almost private emphasis on something," he said, turning it into a Kleenex or a Frigidaire. "The Internet, at least philosophically, should not be owned by anyone," he said, calling it "part of the neural universe of life."¹

needless to say, such linguistic crusades are supported here, even if secretly i've been visiting the worlds of Random Capitalization and sometimes even ALL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS.
