Back blogging

Why do we blog? I mean, one can understand if you are blogging on your company site. Answer seems to me like someone might hit upon this and be benefited. Even my little daughter might chance across this blog...when she's big enough like they show in this ad for Google. But foremost, is a primordial & basic impulse of expressing oneself.

Case in hand specifically is, there's a lot good information floating around via twitter.
This could be a permanent place to collect 'em.

So, I am back blogging.
