It took me awhile to get into them, these things called "blogs". I'm not that interested in political propaganda, or the mundane details of the every day lives of boring people. And, while blogs seem like they'd be good places to get news, I find it more convenient to get my real-world news from places like cnn.com and bbcnews.com, and my gaming news from various forums.
But then I found out there were blogs that featured the thoughts of interesting and famous people like
Tim Schafer,
Neil Gaiman,
John Hodgman, and
Infernal MonkeyOh, and postsecret is pretty neat (but you already knew that.)
