She Said "Yes"

if memory serves me, it was about two years ago when rusty (founder of slashdot.org) proposed to his girlfriend via the site. [ok, i verified it]. talk about really putting yourself out there. these sort of things happen periodically at sporting events, and now it looks like it is picking up on the net. steven denken proposed to his girlfriend michelle via a blog post and she responded in kind

frankly, i thought rusty's girl had a much better response, but that's me.

so is this the new way of the world? gone are the days of asking a woman's father for her hand in marriage. has the clothing industry lobby gotten so weak that they are willing to allow smitten men to spare the knees of their pants or is the technology lobbys getting stronger and we'll see e.mail, blogs, and instant messages rule the day? but hey, it works both ways, in malaysia one can divorce via text message which is faster than nuptials in nevada.

so i guess it's true that all is fair in love and war.
