I like that you remember learning to read and the feelings that came with it. I actually remember the day it clicked and I went from stumbling sounding out words at the beginning of a passage to suddenly reading fluently. Blogging is different--modern day diaries, but we share them with the world. I think of it as the fifth genre--it is it's own thing, constantly looking and referring back to itself, short, off the cuff, a cross between journalism and creative non fiction if it's done well. Senseless drivel if it's not. I think there are several studies waiting to happen, definitely. A very interesting portrait.

Blogging is different–modern day diaries, but we share them with the world. I think of it as the fifth genre–it is it’s own thing, constantly looking and referring back to itself, short, off the cuff, a cross between journalism and creative non fiction if it’s done well. Senseless drivel if it’s not.

I think there are several studies waiting to happen, definitely.

It's a study waiting to happen--or several. Any psych PhD wannabes out there? Free thesis idea. The psychology of blogging is kinda interesting. It’s a study waiting to happen–or several.

It's nice to get to know some of the people I interact with in the blogosphere. Bandsaw in the kitchen, huh? I just might do that, just so that I have a good opening line to use in those get-acquainted situations you mention. <em>I lead a remarkably hum-drum life (and I like it that way)</em>. Ditto! One of the (many) things MaryP and I have in common is that we both like things uneventful. I enjoyed reading it. It’s nice to get to know some of the people I interact with in the blogosphere.
