linus_vp's Journal: Yes, I am a Blogger

I just started using the slashdot journal as my public blog. I'm interested in doing this because I keep a journal at home, and it's convenient to be able to write something from work. I could just send email, but I have started giving my journal url to my friends and family.

Blogging is a basic way to share some parts of my life and thoughts with others. Kinda like if you come over to my house, and I show you my photo album, except that I'm showing you my journal. I only post things that I consider non-private.

Blogging is like publishing my own little newsletter. Anyone can pick it up and read it, and I can write about whatever I like -

personal events

politics

opinion

humor

It's odd when I see mention of illegal acts on a blog. While I suppose most people do illegal things on occasion, to me, it doesn't make sense to post them! I only post things that I consider non-private.
