Q: Where do Blogs come from?

A: From Btrees, stupid!

Ha! Seriously though, I was thinking recently how much I love stand-up comedy and how great it would be to be a stand-up comedian. It suddenly occurred to me that my current hobby could not be further from it. As a blogger, I am a sit-down comedian. Now, it could be argued that someone who wrote tragedies (a sit-down tragedist) would be a more appropriate opposite, but I'm not going to get into semantics. The point is that while stand-up comedians get up in front of a crowd and put themselves on the line while bloggers sit back in a dark room with complete anonymity. There's no risk, so even people with nothing to say can try it out, but unfortunately, that means that like 75% of internet content is absolute crap. Too bad you can't get booed off the internet. You go to log in one day and its just an error message saying your account has been terminated by popular demand. Maybe one day...
