Spooky. In an effort to explain to my wife precisely who Daniel Davies is, and why we’re now co-bloggers, I fired up my browser, and hopped to a random spot in the D^2 Digest archives. It turns out that the prophetic Mr. Davies did a long post on December 31, 2002 on a list of topics, starting with (a) a discussion of fridge magnets and, (b) thoughts on how digital video recorders allow you to skip ads. Which subjects have been dealt with by Kieran and me in loving detail in the first 24 hours of this blog, as you’ll see if you bother to read down a bit further. Your guess as to how Mr. Davies has done this is as good as mine. I’m leaning towards a Manchurian Candidate type scenario myself - quite possibly Kieran and I have been pre-programmed without our knowledge to blog on certain topics. Assuming that Mr. Davies’ prophetic powers/subliminal commands hold good, expect this blog to cover the following subjects in order over the next several days.
A diverse agenda, you’ll agree.
I would like to point out that the more Henry refers to “my wife” without mentioning her name, the more I become convinced that he and Maria are the White Stripes of the weblog world.
oooh, icky!!!
I still don’t get who this Daniel guy is, though.
You forgot the nonergodic processes dammit!
By the way, if you managed to explain to your wife exactly who I am, I’d be grateful if she could summarise it in an email; I’ve been trying to find out for years.
God, whatever you do don’t forget Pound’s 45th canto!
The Shania Twain post will be illustrated, right…?

Please don’t.
The amount of press that woman gets is shocking.
If corruption is what you are after, ignore Irish-American politics and get stuck in to Ulster.
Galbraith’s other maxim should have been that “the socialist project throughout the ages is the search for a higher moral justification for theft”.
Selfishness, on the other hand, needs no more moral justification that the fact a person owns themselves.
