I'm not this self-centered, really
When I first started this site, my intent was definitely not to write as much personal stuff as I have. Although I find myself terribly entertaining (even if no one else does), it is not so narcissistic as that. So far, this has been much more online diary than blog. I wanted (and still want) it to be a combination of odds and ends (like the Smurf post below), political commentary, technology that I find interesting (space elevators and carbon nanotubes, etc.), unusual financial managment ideas I found have worked for me, and the like, interspersed only occasionally with my random manicness.
I used to read the blogs on my sidebar (among others) cover-to-cover every day. I had actually intended to branch out and read many smaller blogs, find some I like, and link them and their entries as well, and with hope build some inter-site friendships. So far, since I started this, I haven't read any more than once or twice each, and even then not cover to cover.
I am not sure how I am going to fix the balance, but it is definitely something I will try to work on in the coming weeks. I'm not sure why I'm mentioning this, just that if things change around here, I don't want it to be a surprise for the folks who wander around regularly.
Saint and Gibb, I appreciate both of your comments and ideas, and as I find time, will work to implement at least some of them where I can.
That is all!

Just some thoughts again. Running these blogs takes up time, time that you used to use doing,reading other things. Take the stuff that Gibb sends you and look at it. If others can do things other than comment then that would add to your pages and might attract others. Thats the main reason for this isn't it? Also, maybe do some daily stuff. Off the top of head....trivia...daily weird stuff ala smoking gun...word for the day....etc, Tons of ideas and stuff to do that would add to this blog and you don't have to spend an inordinate amount of time posting stuff. You know me, i could send you tons of stuff on rocket tech,nanobots,etc but haven't as of yet because i didn't wanna bury you w/stuff you may not use but if i had a way of just posting urls and copy/paste articles in full i would......Its all up to you and be asured whatever you decide Gibb and I will be in full support.......Saint7
