Technology Log/Feelings on This Blog

Technology Log (thoughts and opinions):
For the past three days I've tried to keep the best log I could when it came to using the internet.  It turned out to be harder than I thought because of how often I use it unknowingly.  I would be doing my homework and realize I should have logged it down because I was streaming music off the internet.  On saturday I watched Popeye and that even involved the internet because I was streaming it from Netflix.  A certain amount of time was spent on the internet during free time and for school work.  The most interesting part was how long it would take me to get through my everyday activities on the internet.  About once a day I check my e-mail, facebook, and myspace.  The facebook and myspace were originally created to help me book shows for my band, but soon after I was using facebook like everyone else (to look at pictures of cute kittens that my friends post).  Over the past three days I spent about an hour everyday just checking those three sites.  Obviously over time that adds up to a lot of hours.

Feelings on Starting This Blog:
I am pretty excited about starting a blog.  I think it is an interesting way to creatively write about one's life or express one's opinion.  The only thing that makes me uncomfortable about it, is that by having a blog it puts out the idea that I have decided that I've got something so important to say that it should be made public on the internet for everyone to read.  This is the reason why I have never done one in the past, but now I can just say I started it for a class and no one will really know how full of myself I really am.
