Background:

On September 9th of 2001 I wrote a Thoughtlet about a whirlwind trip to Cedar City. Grandma Shirts had just got a computer and was on-line. Maybe this is why I wrote:

"I do hope my efforts to keep everyone informed of stuff in my life rubs off, and we see more things like Ben's 'pseudo-thoughtlets,' as time goes on and more of you become more settled. I also got thinking about Ethan, and Paul and Kate's new son, and decided I need to come up with something like a 'Grandkidlet' to e-mail the grandkids every week from the time they are 3 until they turn 12, when they will be put on the Thoughtlet e-mail list. In fact, I can image giving Grandkids their own Domain Name for there 3rd birthday. Should it be EthanEvanNelson.com or een@walden3d.com or both or something else? (See ../2003/0331.html to see what gets/was implemented.) Isn't levity exciting? (Remember levity the opposite of entropy, and since I'm not at home, I can't do a search on previous Thoughtlets and give the references. However, if you look at this Thoughtlet on-line ../2001/0137.html, I will put the references into the online version (see ../2000/0029.html). Eventually I will have a search engine, and temporal and spatial and activity indices for all of the 'lets' in Thoughtlets. Then it will be easy to make a whirlwind trip in the virtual world of the Internet to any concept or story or experience that has been described in any of these notes.)"
