Just as a general wondering question- how many people here at apolyton have blogs, (or livejournals) and what are they about, and how long have you had them?

Myself, I don't have any, nor have I had any--- well that's sort of untrue, but the only livejournal I registered was done at 2 in the morning, and it was done while half-groggy and read mostly incoherently, and I fell asleep about 5 minutes after writing it- never to log in again

I took a look at your tech blog and I can't say I'm surprised by your most recent posts:

# Another look at OS X
# Does it make sense for Nintendo to release another home console?
# On HP and Carly's Incompetence
# Oh, how I love Google

Hey, at least you have a passion

I have two, though I neglected them until recently.

http://thoughtsofdrogue.blogspot.com - my fave of the ones I contribute on, relatively random reflections, though nice to write.

http://lifeatoxford.blogspot.com - sadly neglected, but used to do what it said on the tin.

I've met a few people, including my girlfriend in a convoluted way, through them, but they're mainly there for me to discuss things with myself and Oxford to refer to when people ask what it's like.

My blog is http://www.oneandfour.org

I discuss youth rights, my work with NYRA, and politics/culture in general.

Definitely people should read it and spread it around a bit.

I got bored of mine after 2 entries. I told myself I wouldn't be one of those people who have a blog and don't update. I told myself I'd update them at least once a week.

that never happened. I just closed it down rather than have an unupdated blog.

No one wants to read what I have to say anyways.

I have two blogs. One is a "true blog" site, Livejournal, blogger, etc. and another is one of those "blog if you want" sites, (myspace).

My myspace blogs are usually about me blogging after my friends and I go drinking and start talking philosophical things. My other "true blog" I only post there when i don't want people to read what I have to say.


Both are usually personal.

	Put an end to popups!

I kept one going for about 3 months, in a manic surge of lunatic ranting. Then I got bored and busy. Ever since then, I keep getting the odd whine going "Pllllleeeeeeeeaaasse keep writing."

On 2002.12.10, I started my Slashdot journal because a meatspace friend was pressuring me into blogging. Subsequently, I started mirroring it on LiveJournal and then DeviantArt.

More recently, I got myself a new site with a domain of my own, and I've begun another mirror of my blog on it.

I had a few.

My main one was never intended for the eyes of people who actually knew who I was. Somehow a certain pair of eyes found it. And shared it. Embarrassing stuff; don't do blogs anymore

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I have two, one is more shallow and superflous. Surpirse its a myspace!!! Both of these are in my sig, but if you are too n00b for that here they are.

http://myspace.com/deepsoulfunk

http://deepsoulfunk.blogspot.com/

The other is a blogger and is more introspective and serious. This is the one I favor.

And then my band has a myspace, we finally got a song up but the recording quality is uber poor.

Wow only two apolytoners have a myspace blog.

I was gonna say maybe we could double forum it or soemthing, and have an apolyton myspace group but it'd be jsut moi and Franky.

I have one, but I never use it. Not sure there's much on it at all. Myspace just didn't seem like a nice site to use.

I think you'll find it's at least 40% excruciating poetry containing use of the word "nothingness" (which is unforgiveable, frankly).
