An Aid To Memory

… I won’t stay in a world without blogs.

I admit that I love reading and writing blogs. I have always been a bit of a news buff, but I have found mainstream news a little sterile. I mean, if you want to respond to something you heard you have to a)write a letter to the editor that may or may not be published, b)call into a show, hoping that you get on air, or c)become a guest on a show. With blogs, you can comment immediately and get in discussions with others.

Blogs are also a way for me to express myself without paying 20,000/yr for the privilege (the cost of grad school). Reading blogs is a way for me to connect with other thinkers whom I would otherwise never meet.

I love blogs. I also have been listening to AM radio lately. That is scary…I am turning into my dad. Of course, it isn’t helped by the fact that FM radio repeats the same 10 songs over and over, no matter what station or genre involved!
