zen bones...

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.

Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the Internet, says he’s “sorry” for the forward slashes (//) included in every web address. He admits the symbols were actually “unnecessary” and didn’t realize they would be “so much hassle.”
