What is it about the human animal that compels us to share? Are we all just egomaniacs? Are we looking to prove somehow that we're more than just cogs in the giant machine? Are we simply venting about stupid trivial things under the mistaken impression that anybody cares? Yes, yes, and yes, of course. Long live the blog. At least until science figures out a way to graft megaphones onto our mouths, thus allowing us to take our obsessive need to make people interested in our lives to the next logical step. -- James Pinkerton
