Hey, kids. When you woke up this morning, did you feel about four years younger? We did! We were back in thick of our mid-twenties. The world was our oyster! No longer were we sad, broken souls, the icy finger of thirty tapping us on the shoulder. We made a big pot of coffee and settled on the couch with the Sunday edition of the Northwest Arkansas Times and learned all about this "burgeoning blogosphere!" Have you heard about it? Apparently millions of people—even some here in folksy little Northwest Arkansas—operate Web logs, or "blogs" as the kids call them. They're like diaries, sorta—but online! Your neighbors might even be bloggers! What might they be "blogging" about, you ask? Anything! Sports, news, culture—who knows! Isn't this amazing? Imagine: any person idiot anywhere capable of sharing thoughtful insights spewing biased bullshit about anything he wants! Truly amazing.
