Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Clinton Hammond Date: 26 Jul 05 - 12:01 AM I don't keep one... Never saw the point in them... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: mack/misophist Date: 26 Jul 05 - 12:27 AM Mine is exactly where it belongs. Unwritten. Maybe I should start one, though. Clinton and I don't usually agree. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Rapparee Date: 20 Sep 05 - 01:58 PM Don't have one and probably never will. I don't think that I or my ideas are so overarchingly important that everyone in the universe needs to read them -- and I know that my daily activities aren't! |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Ebbie Date: 20 Sep 05 - 02:32 PM Interesting that this should pop up now. About 20 of us have been meeting to explore activism on various levels, and the consensus at this point is that we'll start with our own community. Juneau, our home, has a number of issues that have not been resolved to everyone's satisfaction. At the next meeting our premise is that each of us will put on the table, so to speak, our passion. One person's passion, for instance, is AIDS, someone else's is bicycling to reduce parking congestion and to address our petroleum-based lifestyle, another's is to elect someone to the City Assembly who shares our concerns... Our idea is to pick up a few 'do-able' projects to get aboard. We will be brainstorming ideas. I've gotten to wondering if a blog might be a way to reach more people on a wider level. |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Sep 05 - 03:18 PM I had to set one up account-wise to respond to a friend's post when she started one. I thought that was a bit pushy (I think it was Blogspot). I never posted anything to the one I set up. I spend enough time writing things in other venues, I am not interested in starting up what might be the writing of otherwise great ruminations, only to have them disappear into a black hole. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: GUEST,Ed Date: 20 Sep 05 - 05:02 PM Blogs are written by people who can't get their voice heard in the 'real world' There is, generally, a good reason for that. Quite why anyone would wish to read the diatribe of people who have nothing interesting to say, is beyond me |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: CapriUni Date: 20 Sep 05 - 05:29 PM ahem -- I have a livejournal. I don't use it as a soapbox (much) but as a way to share thoughts and happenings with a group of friends -- more like a shared diary/newsletter. I don't expect it to be read by all and sundry, but it's a nice and easy way to stay connected to people I care about. But I suppose LiveJournals are not "blogs" in the strictest sense of the word. ... But I enjoy reading several "real" blogs, too. Not all bloggers "have nothing to say" (and how do you know until you try reading some of them?). For what it's worth, my LiveJournal is here: CapriUni. |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: ranger1 Date: 20 Sep 05 - 05:39 PM I have one, but after reading this thread, I'm not going share. Pbbbt! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: hesperis Date: 20 Sep 05 - 05:48 PM I have a livejournal. I like it because it's more than just a blog. And if you make a public post people who haven't registered at lj can still comment. Do you have a blog, harpgirl? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Piers Date: 20 Sep 05 - 06:03 PM I'm not convinced there is a difference between a livejournal and a blog. Live journal = on-line diary = web log, surely. Anyway, podcasting is where its at these days. |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Stephen L. Rich Date: 20 Sep 05 - 11:25 PM Mine is at http://www.stephenleerich.com/news.html It's not like any normal blog. Who wants to be normal anyway? Stephen Lee |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: katlaughing Date: 20 Sep 05 - 11:36 PM Stephen! Congrats on your upcoming nuptials! I see your intended has posted to the Mudcat. I'll have to mosey over and welcome her. I like the way you've got your site set-up and I love the "Changes" piece which I just read in the thread, here. I was hoping it was published because ti certainly deserves to be. kat |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Blowzabella Date: 21 Sep 05 - 05:30 AM What is a blog? |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Donuel Date: 21 Sep 05 - 08:28 AM Rapaire: your Alaskan adventures could be a great parody on blogs themselves. |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Dave Hanson Date: 21 Sep 05 - 09:09 AM It's a contraction, weblog, still sounds like newspeak to me. eric |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Bill D Date: 21 Sep 05 - 12:19 PM Many years ago, an author was asked how to write well, get published..etc... He answed (paraphrased) "First you need to decide whether you have something you NEED to say, or whether you just want to have written a book." I haven't decided yet whether I NEED to have a web log. (I do know that I don't like 'newspeak' much, and 'blog' sounds a lot like people who say 'shrooms' for mushrooms.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: CapriUni Date: 21 Sep 05 - 02:20 PM I'm not convinced there is a difference between a livejournal and a blog. Live journal = on-line diary = web log, surely. You're probably right. It may just be that I'm biased, but it just strikes me that LiveJournals (or LJ's) have a diffeent general vibe about them than Blogspot blogs... more... laid back, conversational, and less soapboxy. But that could be a self-selection thing: The people who find LiveJournal's layout and organization attractive tend to be laid back, more conversational folks. I know I got my own journal so that it would be easier to carry on online conversations with good friends who had journals, not because I wanted to be a famous online personality, or anything (though I have made new friends from people who read what I've written and like it, which is nice. And I probably wouldn't have met them otherwise). (Oh, and I'm coming up on my three-year LiveJournal anniversary). |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Rapparee Date: 21 Sep 05 - 06:12 PM But WHICH Alaskan adventure? The one I posted to the Way Up North thread, or the more recent one in which I tried and failed to connect with Ebbie? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: CapriUni Date: 21 Sep 05 - 06:37 PM Oh, go wild! Do both! you can never have too many great adventure paradies! |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Stephen L. Rich Date: 21 Sep 05 - 07:02 PM Thanks, Kat. Stephen Lee |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Stephen L. Rich Date: 21 Sep 05 - 07:23 PM CapriUni, You were being WWAAAAAYYY too polite with "Dear, Mr. President:PTHLPTHLPTHLPTH!" Stephen Lee |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: CapriUni Date: 21 Sep 05 - 09:12 PM Well, Stephen, I believe in erring on the side of politeness. It makes it that much harder to dismiss my arguments as "just an angry rant." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Firecat Date: 22 Sep 05 - 02:43 PM Here, but I don't update it much |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Ron Davies Date: 22 Sep 05 - 11:51 PM Put another blog on the fire. Cook me up some bacon and some beans..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Stephen L. Rich Date: 23 Sep 05 - 01:28 AM Ron, go to your room! Stephen Lee |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Ron Davies Date: 23 Sep 05 - 08:58 PM Well, Stephen, all is not lost--- the blog-driver's waltz pleases girls completely (by report). (I've escaped from my room). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: vindelis Date: 24 Sep 05 - 06:54 AM It's a bit like 'cash-back', one of those words you discover being used by other people and you just think - 'Que'? What planet have I been living on. This is the second site that has suddenly used this word - 'Blog' I mean. Can anyone please define? HELP. I assure you this IS NOT A WIND UP. |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Ron Davies Date: 24 Sep 05 - 10:33 AM blog--from web log. |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: John Hardly Date: 24 Sep 05 - 10:55 AM blogs... ...the symptom of a generation of solipsitic fools who like to hear themselves talk -- read their own musings -- SO much that they can't imagine a world that doesn't give a damn what they think. ...the symptom of a generation of "information age" fools who have confused the ability to surf the web with the ability to research a subject. They then add to the cycle by themselves (and their blogs) becoming the "source" for a multitude of other blogger/"researchers" to cite as proof of their ability to be informed on a subject. "I think that, from now on, before I let any of you record, I am going to ask for a blog of the time you've spent rehearsing your parts. THAT is my new plan!" "Wow. We gotta get some blogs." "No, we gotta get a new producer." "Are you a blogger?" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Ron Davies Date: 24 Sep 05 - 11:15 AM John-- Solipsistic is a fine word, but you might want to proofread before you hit "enter", since misspelling it undercuts the impression you are seeking to leave. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: John Hardly Date: 24 Sep 05 - 11:30 AM Ron, I appreciate good spelling. I appreciate good grammar as well. And when I am reading posts on a forum, I have a great appreciation for those who obviously proof-read their text before submitting. It shows admirable care, fine education, good breeding....you know, all those good things we should all strive for (except the good breeding thing -- not much we can do about that'n). But, just as I can appreciate those whose posts are carefully drafted, I can't tell you how lame I think it that ANYONE would point out another's typo -- especially as a put-down, a one-upsman dig, a gauge of that person's character. It is the mark of an incredibly small mind, a pathetically petty jerk to do so. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Ron Davies Date: 24 Sep 05 - 12:01 PM John-- I can't tell you how that breaks my heart. But regarding blogs, you really should learn to live and let live. Some like them, some don't. But of course we wouldn' ever want to put you in the "jerk" category for your intolerance. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Ron Davies Date: 24 Sep 05 - 12:02 PM That's "wouldn't", in case you were wondering. |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Rapparee Date: 24 Sep 05 - 12:06 PM As I sat down one evening, in an Internet café A forty year old barrista to me these words did say I see you that you are a blogger and not just a common bum 'Cause nobody but a blogger stirs his latte with his thumb My lover was a blogger, there's none like him today If you'd pour coffee on it He'd eat a bale of hay... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Ron Davies Date: 24 Sep 05 - 12:27 PM That's great, Rapaire. If you finish it, it could definitely make it in a lot of parody workshops, open sings, etc. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 24 Sep 05 - 12:55 PM I also have a LiveJournal...not surprisingly, as gorgeousgary. Admittedly not a whole lot of great import there, mainly interesting for con reports and concert reviews. -- Gary |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: vindelis Date: 24 Sep 05 - 01:33 PM Like Vogon poetry? |

Subject: RE: BS: Where is your Blog? From: snarky Date: 24 Sep 05 - 09:19 PM Wrong again, John Hardly!!! If you would look at some blogs by going to Google Blog (beta) and typing in a search term related to your interests, you would find a wealth of creative and fascinating personal web sites. Like mine, for instance. I noted it as a GUEST back up at the beginning of this thread. It is a good way to keep one's friends and family apprised of your doings. ( For such a good looking guy, you sure have a narrow outlook....) love, snarky |
