I was reading a little about the so-called rise and fall of blogs. Blogs are at their peak and continuing to become more and more popular. I don't see that changing any time soon. But I do agree with the author that most blogs have degenerated into simple link-posting. I, too, am very guilty of this. It's hard to write your own stuff regularly. It's even harder to make it interesting to other people (no, a list of your daily gripes/groans/activities/bowel movements does not count ... because it's boring as hell). So it's time to start writing things that are hopefully more self-spun and also hopefully more amusing both to myself and my (ahem ... few) readers. I remember when all of my entries were like that.
It's time for a change. Starting tomorrow.
Comments
Then there are those of us lurkers who admittedly can't think of many intelligent things to say on our own. Therefore, we are thankful that people like you post things on blogs so we can critique them in comments and feel like we've "said something". :-)

I read the other day that blogs are becoming like pick-up joints! Can you believe that? How totally crass! Incidentally, your posts are FAR from boring ;-)
