Dear Blog
Dear Blog,
It's not you, it's me.
...And Facebook, really.
I'm sorry, but they just make it so easy: When I want to tell people about a kooky link I found, I just paste in the URL and all of the sudden it is formatted and available to the world. No hand-coded HTML or posting an image to Flickr and then trying to link back to it without violating their increasing terms-of-use policies.
This doesn't mean I have given up on you, Blogger interface. You are still probably good for something...kinda like Magazines: Long-form pieces with hard-hitting, in-depth analysis work well, but short blasts of information? That's what the modern internets are for.
I'll try to check back on you soon and see if I can't think of something interesting to say.
Sincerely,
.:DataWhat?:.
