On Blogging.

You also don't seem to understand that every column here, every column everywhere else, and every piece of literature and art from cave paintings on are acts of masturbation. We write about what pleasures or pains us, not the audience. We rely on the audience to reflect our opinions or deny them, but not to write things for us. We don't write for the sake of courting popularity, we put it out there and let the audience discover us, and if they like us, they keep reading.
