Changes
So...few will care but I've had a fair number of changes recently including moving to Seattle, going to work as a Sr. Product Manager for Microsoft, selling a house, buying a house, buying a car, organizing my trading card collection...ok, not the last one but I think the rest are plenty. So...wait for it...here's where I apologize for not writing (as if there was a vast audience waiting in agony for my next thoughts.)
Isn't that the nature of most blogs tho? You're either apologizing for the lapses in writing for various reasons or you're just commenting on things that others are actually doing or saying. It's still interesting as a form of recorded word-of-mouth but writing of any form is at its best when someone has something truly original of significance to say.
Would that history's writers such as Seneca or John Ruskin or Voltaire had had blogs... I think that Dickens, Dickinson, Lewis Carroll, and Mark Twain would have been top notch. Any other nominations?

Comments
So I was apparently having a problem with comment authentication that has now been (hopefully) resolved...

It's about time Microsoft started managing Senior Products. Do you have a downloadable version of The Clapper?
A blog is like talking to yourself...and you never know how many people are eavesdropping. Personally, I have a sort of mime blog - I signed up but never write in it.
As to your hypothetical, I think Douglas Adams, Ben Franklin, Ogden Nash, Edgar Allan Poe and Dorothy Parker would have made very interesting bloggers. As well as a few from other fields such as Albert Einstein, Mozart, and John Lennon.
P.S. this is an authentic comment
