There was a time when blogs weren't common, and bloggers were the modern equivalent of Indiana Jones. Well no, there wasn't such a time, unless you're from the future. Every other word in a blog post was meant to be a link and if your blog had fewer than 5 columns you weren't a blogger after all. Ah, the rigour of maintaining your own little news outlet.
Anyway, what got me started was that the brother of a certain friend has started a blog. He reminds me of that C&H; strip where Calvin imagines that he is Frankenstein's monster: Rehan Lives.
