As I recently learned in an email from Bruce D'Arcus and now in a blog posting from Tim Bray, Eve Maler has recently entered the blogosphere. Nice! :)
It seems however that the way I interpreted her blogs title -- Pushing String -- is not what she intended to be meant as pointed out in this post.
Why Pushing String? While stitching away during another lecturer’s presentation on XML schema design at CSW’s wonderful XML Summer School in Oxford, U.K., I commented that some aspect or other of choosing a schema design style was really difficult, “like pushing string.” Looking down, I realized that that’s what cross-stitching is all about.
If you're wondering what my interpretation was -- My initial thought was more along the lines of "Pushing XML as a drug" given that XML is just text and furthermore a string of text. Leave it to the youth of GenerationXML to somehow bring the innocent meaning of a phrase into the bitter gall that is the drug dealing subculture. Oops!
At any rate, welcome Eve!

Thanks! Actually, there are lots of potential and even intended meanings, but I didn’t want to make my first post into a kitchen-sink affair. :) I’ll expound on some of the other meanings over on my blog shortly… Thanks for giving me the excuse.
Hey Cool! Thanks for the update Eve! :) I am most definitely looking forward to listening in on your added comments to this post as well as all that you have to say in the blogosphere in general.
Cheers!
