I blog about my life, web stuff, software, technology, and pretty much anything else that strikes my fancy.

That’s what web 2.0 is all about. Not the glitzy java script worm (a.k.a. AJAX), but the slick functionality that eases people’s life and build its feature around and towards the people.

You ARE with it mom. The fact that you know this stuff is just one sign that you are far ahead of the "average" internet user in terms of hipness. Now I just need to get you set up with an RSS reader and you will be set! My mom understands the power of the personal publishing phenomenon! You ARE with it mom.

AND I have a blog, so there. Sean, you should check out some of the Top Ten Lists for blog users. I could forward the links but it would take some time to find again, so I can't right now. But anyway, apparently from what I've read hobbies/interests are one of the most common reasons to blog (and share blogs through joining blog rings) AND knitting and cooking blogs are right up there in the top ten of numbers of hobby/interests blogs. I feel so "with it". But seriously, it is a good way to share information and find out what other people are learning/doing and learn from them. Knowledge in hobby/interest increases greatly by reading other blogs based on common interests. It's like reading a book on the (hobby/interest) subject but in real time and with real people. I think blog reading is like another form of "reality tv" except you can choose your subject matter. I can “navigate” blogs and I’m an old lady! he-he. AND I have a blog, so there.
