Not that it would be entirely wise to link all of them from here, but I’ve been posting my opinions to the Internet since 1993. I suspect many of my friends and colleagues who spent so much time posting to newsgroups or online journals in the 1990s share my sense of bemusement at the breathless media coverage of “blogs.” While I don’t really consider this a blog, I’ve decided that it would be useful/harmless enough to use Blacknell.net to offer a few unsolicitied opinions and engage in the time-honored practice of endorsement-by-link.
