why i still read blogs

It’s not for the tech news, or the news commentary. Those are useful, sure. But not useful enough to make it worth facing Bloglines’ implicit condemnation on a daily basis (“2354 unread items, you slacker!”)

No, it’s for the connection with people I care about—how else would I know not just that Mateo had arrived, but also how beautiful he was?

And for the gift of wonderful writing, which people like Paul Ford bestow upon us not as often as I’d like, but often enough to keep me coming back.

Whereas I read blogs hoping to come across sites like yours, and people like you. So, thanks!
