POINT -- The Way only had 4 posts in September, but I'm sure that only one person noticed. Notwithstanding that I want to significantly change my blog layout but feel interminably exasperated by the fact that I know that I would not get any help with my questions from the cowardly criminals that perpetrate that fraud called Userland by stealing people's money and then refusing to answer their technical questions (Jake Savin - are you listening?), I just haven't felt inspired. I have, admittedly, basically ignored blogging for most of the last month, wondering if I should use software from another company such as Moveable Type, knowing that they, at least, are legitimate business people who are actually interested in helping themselves grow their business legitimately by helping their users. Would I lose out on my $40 paid to Userland? I'm sure of it! Then again, I have also been considering filing a class action lawsuit against Userland, Dave Winer, Lawrence Lee and Savin for their fraudulent business practices. I just don't know yet what I'm gonna do. At the moment, exasperation still generally outweighs inspiration. If you feel screwed, too, by these crooks at Userland and want to join a potential class action lawsuit against them, let me know via email.
Additionally, I have been giving a lot of thought to the question of 'Why blog?'. To put it another way, why do I/we write? Is it to vent? Is it to inform? Educate (notwithstanding the fact that the stoooopud and ignorant could never benefit)? For history? Posterity? What? Why? Is blogging more than just self-aggrandizement, more than making one's self feel even more bloatedly self-important? More than just another masturbatory ego stroke? I'm not sure what the answer is, but if you have an answer as to why you write and why it is important (assuming it is), please let me know, comments link below.
