I actually <I>like</I> blogs; I have one, after all. Some of my best friends have blogs! :) I just think blogs are kind of. . .well, odd, considering the essentially private nature of journaling. It's a little like kiwi (work with me here); I like kiwi, but it's kind of an odd fruit, don't you think? Who eats green, furry food? (OK, let me work on this simile a bit, and I'll get back to you. . .)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1157582445335222412006-09-06T15:40:00.000-07:002006-09-06T15:40:00.000-07:00Lotus - I think there's a lot of interesting stuff...Lotus - I think there's a lot of interesting stuff being said in the blogosphere. Like anything else, you have to weed out all the crap, but in our not-so-little book world, I've learned a great deal and would be quite sad to see one of my favorite blogs disappear. I'm sure someone will eventually decide to call it quits, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that it isn't anyone in my blogroll! Personally, I can skip the gerbil blog. ;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1157378805443227082006-09-04T07:06:00.000-07:002006-09-04T07:06:00.000-07:00Loved the article!

Perhaps not, but it's a fun way to be creative, to express oneself and to make new friends. But, yes, there is the danger of spending too much time in a virtual reality and not enough time doing other productive things.Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1157378561293712312006-09-04T07:02:00.000-07:002006-09-04T07:02:00.000-07:00Glad y'all enjoyed Rod's column.

I'm biased, but I happen to think his dry wit is very funny and can't resist sharing his articles with my friends & family.<BR/><BR/>I've enjoyed your blog, Cami. I do wish you well in your Torts class, though! Still shaking my head about that one. ;)<BR/><BR/>Sue - it's very easy to get sidetracked by all the links in everyone's blogs, but I've stumbled upon several in my wanderings that have been worthwhile. I just need to learn to limit my blog-surfing or I'll never get any books read!<BR/><BR/>Bellezza - No!!!! Don't delete your blog!! It's one of my absolute favorites. Talk to the ficus first. ;)<BR/><BR/>Framed - I've had to be strict with myself and not add anymore blogs to my list to look at on a regular basis. It really can get out of hand. I'll just stick with my favorites. Kind of like life. I'd rather have a handful of close friends than a hundred acquaintences.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1157315050375259782006-09-03T13:24:00.000-07:002006-09-03T13:24:00.000-07:00Very funny article.

I do have a tendency to surf the links, but I can't keep up. So I just have to live with the knowledge that I am missing great blogs and comments and not meeting more interesting people.Framedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703547279309902320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1157235951750915472006-09-02T15:25:00.000-07:002006-09-02T15:25:00.000-07:00Rod, I loved reading this post and the wonderful s...Rod, I loved reading this post and the wonderful sarcasm. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I'm tempted to completely delete my blog; what is the point? I can't compare myself to the likes of Boswell and James. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if gerbils can communicate, perhaps I have something intelligent to contribute as well. <BR/><BR/>My bone of contention with blogging (well, technology period) is that so much seems to be lost without the physical presence of paper. What is there to smell? Hold? Analyze in one's writing? How can you save a particularly meaningful post? It's a conundrum to me. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I should ask the ficus.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1157235883355374352006-09-02T15:24:00.000-07:002006-09-02T15:24:00.000-07:00Hey Les, I'd love to comment on Rod's fabulously e...Hey Les, I'd love to comment on Rod's fabulously entertaining article (no surprise there), but I spent a considerable amount of time getting sidetracked by the links to all the blogs and no time left to comment. Now it is almost Sunday and I have barely begun Saturday. Oh well. Lots of love to you both....and now I need to go check out a few more NurseryCrimes. <BR/>SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1157154282630936772006-09-01T16:44:00.000-07:002006-09-01T16:44:00.000-07:00Great column, as always.We're just keeping our blo...Great column, as always.<BR/>We're just keeping our blog going on the chance that we might actually have something interesting to say. It could happen. <BR/>You know the saying:<BR/>If you put enough monkeys with enough typewriters you'll get Shakespeare.<BR/>Well, if you put enough law stutdents with enough computers and too much procrastinating together you at least get Nicholas Sparks.Hershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267788091099597277noreply@blogger.com
