Wired magazine has a mini-column called Jargon Watch each month. This column highlights emerging words in today's society, and then tend to be technology-related. A few of this month's (April 2005) were particulary interesting:
- Narcipost - A shamelessly egocentric blog post that's of little interest to anyone besides the person who posted it.
- Nouse - A peripheral device that tracks the movement of the tip of your nose to control a cursor.
So I guess this could lead to a whole new era of Nousing Narciposters. I guess it would be appropriate--people turning their nose up at the world while writing their ego-centric posts. There's an interesting mental image...
Anyway, in all seriousness, I hadn't heard of nousing before and it sounds interesting. Who knew?. Fascinating.
And now for what you really want to hear: Friday I'll post the access name and password for the new web site! We can't wait to hear your feedback now that it's finally ready for a wider viewing. Stay tuned...
I hope it does not come to Nousing Narciposters! These two words caught my eye as well in WIRED. These two words have been added to Wiktionary:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Narcipost
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nouse
It's Friday! Is the website ready for a 'wider viewing'? I'm ready and staying tuned. LoL
