"Survey time! How many of you readers have a blog? Show of hands, please. Go on, you don't have to fear recrimination from your fellow music fans-- no one can see you. Hmm... yeah, that about what I figured. Okay, I lied; here comes the recrimination. What makes you bloggers think people want to read about your mundanities? Diaries used to be private things, you know. Repressed societies like Britain and New England have the right idea: bury it and smile. And they built a whole empire on that social strategy (Britain, not New England). The thing about it is, no matter how good the writing in a blog might be, the taint of self-indulgence stains it wholly. It's a lost cause."
For those unfamiliar with a blog, it's basically this, only different. Look it up. Anyway, the only reason I bother is because this implementation is particularly good, and it seemed like a good way to keep in touch with remote friends without having to repeat myself, something I can't afford to do much anymore.
But I had better get back to my programming homework(bleah).
