Blogs can be Good, but...

[forsyth]

A lot of the time, reading blogs (and their comments) about things besides day to day life is kinda depressing. Because it's like listening to the guy in the bar telling you exactly what's wrong with the world. Especially when it's stuff they obviously don't know anything about.

And I can include myself in that list of guys talking about stuff they don't know about, though I usually try to limit myself to stuff I do know about.

This is why I read comics blogs. They get cranky and talk about stuff they don't know about, but it's regarding something totally irrelevant, usually, which mitigates the irritation.
