I R Blogging

Shirtninja.net

That’s right, I’m no longer a cheap son of a bitch. OK, I am but not as cheap. I went out and bought myself a nice big webserver: 3GB of space, 25GB of bandwidth a month. What I’m going to do with it all, I’m not sure, but I have it! And with that, I have my new domain: ShirtNinja.net . How’s that for awesome? So go visit me, join my forum that will never get off the ground, check out whatever else I decide to throw up on my spare time.

Oh, and if anybody wants some space, give me a holla, I’ll see if I can hear ya and hook you up. Man, I’m so damn happy, it’s great.

Oh yeah, I’ll be doing most of my posting on my blog again now, it keeps pulling me back in. I have to be cool like the other kids that are using LiveJournal. Wait, then why am I going to my blog? Right, because I can actually customize it. Oh yeah, I can hook people up with blogs, emails, etc too. I love having stuff

Blogging: It’s what’s for dinner.

So, I was doing my daily research of news, and I found some interesting stuff today. I read an article on political blogging, though it wasn’t extreamely interesting. Then I read an article about how blogging is becoming easier to do with things such as blogger and Movable Type. So that linked me to looking at Movable Type’s website, in which they were taking applications for the 3.0 Beta starting next week. So of course, I had to sign up for it, as I’m a beta fanatic. It could be the beta testing for a Barbie chatroom and I’d sign up if it had barbie in it. Wait, I mean if it had beta in it.

So then I came across a very interesting article about how blogging should be considered when thinking about journalism and stuff. It’s very interesting, I’d recommend everybody read the article. I can honestly say, that it is one the highest quality article that I’ve read in a long time relating to blogs. OJR Article.

One of the people that was talked about in the article was Kaye Trammell. She wrote up a doctorate about blogging, therefore earned the title “Doctor of Blogs”. It’s quite fasinating yes, I can’t think of another word besides fasinating at the moment. Anybody who can live a life dedicated to something as interesting as blogs earns the title of “Hero” in my book. Check out her Blog Here

So within that article, it refers to people who study blogs and the reaction to blogs, and the time that people blog, and statistics of blogs, etc; as blogologists. Well, I’ve been hooked on blogs for more then a year now. I don’t mean just blogging, I mean I’ve done research on blogs on my own, just to see what is there. I’m even signed up for the Google News Alerts with the word “Blog” in it. If that’s not a bit obsessive, then please, tell me what it is.

Due to this, I think that I should become a Blogologist. How, I’m not sure, but i think that it’s something that I would enjoy. I enjoy reading about people, I enjoy knowing what people think, I like knowing the common actions of people, the study of people in general fasinates me. So why not look in to this when I can combine these with one of my favourite things, the internet. Seems like an obvious thing to me.

Oh, and for the hell of throwing this in, Blog Sensus is a pretty cool, gives you some stats to check out about blogs.
