I recently posted on Twitter about problems with my Comcast email, and a few seconds later someone from Comcast responded to me, and even helped me out with a problem I've been having.Leftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012514335341497408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596260.post-41109837839738947572008-08-03T21:46:00.000-04:002008-08-03T21:46:00.000-04:00You can comment on this better than I, being a lib...You can comment on this better than I, being a librarian, but I get the impression that very little of recorded history has been recorded by, y'know, regular folks. While we may have records of laws and wars, historians seemed to have pieced together What Life Was Like from bits of archaeology, a letter here, a bit of folk art there. <BR/><BR/>I think blogs are changing that. <BR/><BR/>What seems immensely mundane to us now—you writing about your auto loan, or me riffing on some piece of junk mail I received—could be revelatory to someone a hundred years from now trying to piece together how people did business (or anything else, for that matter) in the early 21st century. <BR/><BR/>Seems to me it will be a lot more difficult for future historians to rewrite the past, or tell us how people thought and felt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596260.post-37148150128705479942008-08-02T13:02:00.000-04:002008-08-02T13:02:00.000-04:00Occasionally I think you're the only person readin...Occasionally I think you're the only person reading my blog. You're the only one who comments anymore, it seems (and I do appreciate it). I don't know if this happens to you, but when I was back in PA, a few of my friends told me that they enjoy reading the blog, so that made me happy (even if they never comment). I occasionally think of closing shop, but it's not like it's costing me anything. If I only have five readers, so be it. It's a fun thing for me to do. When it's not fun, I don't blog!<BR/><BR/>Keep it up, sir. I'm terribly impressed that you manage to post something every day.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481137891542684401noreply@blogger.com
