Why did i start this 'blog?

The absurd truth is that it was the only way that i could post a comment to a friend's 'blog. So, by way of unnecessarily limited software design, i was compelled to begin my first 'blog.

Mind you, it's only my first, if you don't include activity on various BBSs (bulletin board systems) in the 1980s and '90s, or the various other conceptually identical technologies that keep popping up here and there, to be tauted as if they are something new.
