Reactions

When people are told by me or someone else I write this blog, they usually express one of three reactions: They are either, genuinely impressed, slightly bemused, or, as best I can describe it, snarky apprehension. The first two are understandable. The first, that maybe that I am writing, or that this thing actually turns a tiny profit. Tiny. The second reaction, they really don't pay attention to blogs, or don't know what they are, which is fine, maybe that gets them to check them out.

But the third one really surprises me. Some people seem to genuinely look down upon it. All blogging. I am curious whether it is in response to a new "nerd fad" or a feeling of jealousy in not doing it themselves. Either way if they don't want to read it they can go take a long walk of a short bridge.
