I finally started a blog. I am using Blogger and I hate it. It doesn’t have any built in trackback functionality. It also doesn’t have any built in tagging. I am sure I can figure it out, but you would think in this day and age these features would be a given. I can’t really complain though because I am to lazy to try anything else. I added it to the links to the right and added some posts. If interested, you can find it here:

They said maybe BIG MEDIA can deal with lawsuits, but we certainly can’t. The woman who presented the paper answered that the courts are still figuring out how to deal with this new medium.
