Raymond, is this your other blog?

by on January 22, 2006

Folks who know Raymond Chen, famous Windows programmer, well know that he enjoys crochet knitting (when we do local geek dinners he’s often seen stitching). So, when Nancy Folsom sent me this blog on “What Not to Crochet” a few moments ago I knew I had to point it out.

I guess there’ll be a blog for every niche. Or is that stitch?

  • Raymond is a knitter, not a cro-shay-er. But this blog pointing out bad crochet patterns is superb!
  • Anita: yikes. That shows how uneducated I am that I didn't even know the difference! Thanks.
  • There isnt a blog for every niche. if there is..no one reads it !

    Why don't you get Raymond Chen on a channel 9 video?

    That sweater was quite disturbing, especially so early in the morning. Here's the knit version of that blog you linked:

  • You know Robert, I thought I might prove you wrong by showing there is no blog about farting, but...

    Anyway, knitting is very cool especially when women do it, but I was wondering if you would blog about something important like Microsoft/MSN releasing its customers' search data to the feds.

    Is it true Microsoft/MSN provided all queries that were made by its customers over a two month period?

  • In a CNN interview with Mena Trott, she points out that knit blogging is a huge phenomenon, one that would be surprising only to those that don't knit. (http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/08/10/men...)

    I know my girlfriend's knit gets a lot more visits and comments than my own blog. As blogging tools make it easier to set up communities, those communities with a high social/interactive component will (continue to) flourish online.

    Boys knit too. It's like compiling string into a complex, interdependent garment. Eminently practical.
