Buildingways

I'm trying to resolve my relationship to a blog.  For the moment, this is how I'm thinking of it. 

The blog will focus on thoughts related to media.  Not links, I think I'm not gonna include that stuff now, the one's I'm liking can be found on delicious: http://delicious.com/jeffgoldenson
I'm also interested in overall issues related to design, but at this point, those are more personal, so I put them down on notecards.  This is where all the rest goes.

A little while back I was chasing some links and I landed on the amazon page of a book I like.  It turns out that I searched this book in Amazon not too long before, but it looked different -- it had a lot fewer reviews.  Then I realized, I was on the Wabi Sabi page of  amazon.co.uk, as opposed to amazon.com  Looking deeper, I realized the books other people went on to buy in the UK  were more interesting to me than those Americans went on to buy.  For sure there are many overlaps in the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section, but there was also a sufficient number of differences.  Take a look.

I've found that my reading tastes lean toward those in the UK, as opposed to here (US, Cambridge).

I've been noticing how people include a "colophon" section to their websites, eg:
http://daringfireball.net/colophon/
http://www.subtraction.com/ (see left)  

Here's what the wikipedia entry says:                                                                                                                                                                         "A brief description, usually located at the end of a book, describing production notes relevant to the edition  

A printer's mark or logotype"

In web usage it seems like a bibliography of tools. It's an interesting view behind the scenes...  Seems an honest practice, transparent.

Historically, according to the entry cited above, it included information about the owner of the document or scribner, etc. -- it is a kind of metadata, but a bit different.  Will this broadened definition of colophons be important to scholarship? A new bibliographic necessity?
