This blog, currently "uncurrent," could be considered one of the abandoned. Fitting into the early summer NYT article about dead sites as this, I am not vowing to continue, just to let it stay here, pickling in its own web juices to see what crawler picks it up to part of an internet "archive."

I Don't Know Everything

I stand adjusted on the definition of "wonky," as pointed out by a co-worker. The word "wonk" is defined by Merriam Webster's online dictionary as:

a person preoccupied with arcane details or procedures in a specialized field; broadly : NERD: "a policy wonk," "a computer wonk"

If we disregard the British slang (a term meaning unstable or awray), then wonky as defined above may very well fit the stereotype of archivists. Unsteady or obsessive-compulsive, I fully admit that either definition will do!
