    What are blogs, every site I go to except here has Blogs, or something alike, I see the name BLOG everywhere, what is it, it's starting to haunt me...

    I go for a few years and when I come back, you all get tied down with the toilet, so you rename it to BLOG!

    Wait, thats the BOG House... :/

    Seriously, who is responsible for this blogging craze?

    Kinda online diary's where you spill your daily trials and tribulations out in or just an outlet for your beliefs and ego :)

    many techies or development teams seem to have blogs these days to let interested parties know whats going on in a certain project.


    Whos to blame... probably Al_Gore the internet founder.... but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog some info on the history of BLOG ;)

    Woke up at midnight, Jonas was whining like a baby, oh wait he is a baby, better make sure the missus doesn't find me whining like this, otherwise I`m going to get smacked upside the head!... Kinda kinky when I think about it... Girlfriend... Dominating me.. :drool:

    Stardate 21, 53, 42! I have spoken to my sibling and made arrangements to have a sleep time alongside a baby scream when he is upset time! We will see how it goes! But he didn't have me fully convinced, we will see the final outcome sometime tonight when I attemp to get more than 2 hours sleep!

    Gawd... I`m bored!

    One thing about kids, they are Gods answer to bordom. Usually you can be many things, happy, proud, fustrated, angry, dumbfounded, but bordom is at the bottom of the list. Wait, you'll see.

    blog. I hate that damn word.. dumbest neologism ever.
    hmm.. blogs.. yeah.. I heard of them when they were called "Personal Web-sites"..

    Do I have one? yes.. do I refer to it as a blog? depends on my mood.

    Blogs.... While there are some that are quite entertaining, enlightening, funny, interesting, and intelligent, many of them are just worthless ramblings from people with nothing to say. The internet seems to have given microphones to the entire world's population, and quality content tends to get lost amidst all the garbage.

    So I guess everyone would agree if I said this is a sad fad that we all hope fades away like a picture drawn into the sand :)

    It's unbelievable how the media can create such an hysteria and people just jump straight onto the band wagon!

    Blog.... :mad:

    No, not everyone. Just like the internet in general and personal websites in particular, there are plenty of useless blogs where people express views that are the result of a bad ganja dealer or listening to too much Art Bell on the radio. Anyone with just a hint of intelligence should be able to discern what is fact and what is the result of someone having too much time on their hands. This is a negative side effect of having free speech, free being the key word as I can't see why anyone would want to pay to learn some of these opinions.

    Pay no attention to my sig, the tide should be in shortly. :)

    The world is populated far more with followers than leaders. ;)
