So, as I sat waiting for some massive email to download here at work I figured I could type out a new post real quick. No problem. Standard time killing practice. Little did I expect my email client would suddenly decide to give me the option to keep waiting, like I obviously wanted to, or to stop my download after 20 minutes of progress with a quick tap of my S key. I mean, it’s not like S is one of the top five or so most common letters used while typing, so odds are slim you’d hit it just as an unnecessary pop up comes out of nowhere… right? Thanks Microsoft. You suck. /vent

why blog?

My e-buddy Oz over at About A Boy posted something that got my mind turning…

- I’m still not comfortable with blogging. I feel fake and self-important.

Since Blogger hates me now that I’ve migrated to WordPress, my comment didn’t go through… so I figured I’d throw it here and expand.

So, as titled, why blog? Specifically, why do I blog? Am I just being as fake and self-important as he feels personally? OK, yeah, I can admit to that to a certain extent… this is just random bits of “interest” I’m posting in hopes of catching someone else’s attention for a minute or two, and I guess since I’ve grown a bit tired of forums and I’m not one to keep a journal – a blog seemed to be like a nice new alternative. Really though, I don’t have a reason other than I know this stuff amuses me, and I’m sure it will amuse someone out there as well… so in a way I guess I’m kind of like the guy standing on the street corner, talking about nothing until someone stops and decides to listen for a bit.
