ha ha great idea speedster… love the quixotic use of dead media for your blogging, i mean blaxing endeavor

too bad I can’t even remember how to even spell FAX let alone own such an arcane beast for myself…

i think there’s an online service that lets me sign up for a virtual fax number (which converts faxes to pdf’s and lets me read them on the screen – does this defeat the purpose?) but i might have to pay for it… I’ll see what i can do. this is clearly an important project.

your friend,
tom.

ps semantically (semiotically?) wise, i’m not sure Blaxing is the right word for it. You must remember blogging once stood for web + logging = blogging what you are giving us really Fax + logging = a good Flogging…
