Blogging Never Stops

Surfed on over to Adrian Warnock's blog and read his latest entry, an entry titled Are Bloggers Mentally Ill?

I agree with Dr. Warnock when he says:

Personally I think there are too few opportunities for us to discuss our personal beliefts, feelings, thoughts, and fears in an open way.

Dr. Warnock linked to One Hand Clapping so, naturally, I surfed on over.

One Hand Clapping, in his "Bloggers are mentally ill" entry linked to the May 27th New York Times article For Some, the Blogging Never Stops.

Indeed, if a blog is likened to a conversation between a writer and readers, bloggers like Mr. Wiggins are having conversations largely with themselves.

So what exactly is your point, Ms. Katie Hafner? Is there a problem here?

Richard Wiggins' reply: "I'm just getting something off my chest"

I couldn't have put it better.

The article links to jozjozjoz.com (Does fame make one's life complete? In 1999 I got mentioned on Radio Korea for being a Korean-American adolescent who wanted to commit seppuku...did my moment of fame complete my life? No. Fame does not make one's life complete)
