purpose
So - I'm conflicted about this whole blogging thing. On the one hand, the idea of having a forum to voice my thoughts (and exchange with others) is fine, but on the other hand - why not do this through some real live one-on-one communication?
Also, I feel that if I'm going to have a blog, I ought to be posting articulate, thoughtful, formed opinions rather than the random thoughts running through my head (like I am now). And articulate and thoughtful requires time, effort, brain power, etc...
On the other hand, it's nice to be able to communicate with friends that I may not see or talk to very often.
By the way, I had an apple for breakfast today. And recently stubbed my toe. kidding, Suzanne ;)
Related to blogging, the Wash Post has an article in today's paper regarding teenage blogging and its dangers, one of which is that prospective colleges and employers may be reading one's blog. The thought of which really makes me not want to have a blog. Here's the article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/16/AR2006011601489.html?referrer=emailarticle

formed opinions? feh.
there are so, so many articles about the dangers of teen blogging that I find it all rather passe.
for case in point about employers reading blogs, (maybe you've heard of her) check out dooce.com. She has the posts for which she got fired filed under the category 'dooced.'
i think it's a riot that the contents of these blogs might be archived at the Bentley.
