Laggard

I vividly remember the first time I heard about a blog. Two of our friends had recently gotten a divorce at a young age, and the husband had started a blog to process his feelings. All of his anger and torment were there on the page, available to any curious gawker who wanted to see into his soul. My friends and I were horrified. "Who would ever want to make a journal public? And who would want to read it?" Apparently the answer to both questions is: everyone.

Never one to jump on a bandwagon, I've given the rest of you ten or fifteen years to work out the kinks. You've done a great job of making the medium funny, personal, interactive, and easy. You've documented your likes and your lives. You even figured out how to upload pictures!

Although I am hopelessly behind the curve, I am pretty sure this will be the blog that changes the face of the internet.

  1. Welcome to the future, baby! I love your cutlery background. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you revolutionized something while you're here.

  2. Sure. change your background as soon as I comment on it. Or perhaps I was just hallucinating. Never mind.

  3. I worried that the cutlery is too busy. I probably won't ever get around to writing a second post, because I keep changing the background every 2 minutes.
