On/Off blogging

Never before has blogging taken up so much of my time.

Not writing or even thinking up what to write, obviously, but reading. And then there's all the links you've just got to check out. Sometimes these little adventures into cyberspace can lead to something beautiful or educational. Occasionally you're presented with something which up until that point you didn't know you couldn't live without. My music collection has swelled, not entirely legally. I've downloaded at least 10 different apps in the last month, none of which I quite possibly wouldn't have known about if it wasn't for various bloggers mentioning them. (Gordon McLean mostly.)

I have blogging to thank for my recent love affair with Firefox. And all it's fantastic little extensions. How did I cope before tabbed browsing? And FoxyTunes? And ForecastFox?

I've very almost laughed my head literally off, and once in a while I've read something that's had me in tears.

Sure, there's a great deal of crap blogs out there, this one included, but my life would be all the more poorer if this medium didn't exist. Although I would have more time to do real world things, like developing my social skills (ha!) or watching more shite tv.

    My pleasure.

    I think ALL blogs (well all good blogs like this one) should carry a warning though: “MAY BE HABIT FORMING!” ;-)

    It's taken me 4 days to recover sufficiently to drag myself off the floor and respond, such was the shock of seeing that comment.

    The Great Gordon paid a visit to this 'umble blog!–>
