I fell in love with the crow girls, Mia and Zia in Charles de Lint’s books when I first started reading his Newford series.  The thought of two girls, flying where they will, living in the present and watching the world appealed to the whimsical and observant side of me.  The wired crow is an emulation and a tribute to these two characters, as I hope to record what I’ve observed about the online vs offline world in this blog.
