Thanks to the use of a top secret government computer, I’ve managed to collate a large number of unassociated trivia. Through this I’ve been able to confirm something I’ve had a feeling was true for some time. One needs to have a life in order to have a weblog. Actually, I’ll revise that. One needs to have an interesting life in order to have a weblog. Still not completely true. One needs to have an interesting life that they are happy to talk about in order to have a weblog. I’ll leave it as a exercise for the reader to figure out which criteria it is that I don’t match.

Rubbish. You just need to have something to say or something to link to.
Many of them don’t even have anything to say (cf: mine). Also… if you’ve got an interesting life you probably don’t want to write about it on a web log, because you’re far too busy being interesting. Also… something.
Pish!
I think your both right, but still, it is necessary to interact to spark ideas. Sitting at home all day playing Spyro the Dargon ain’t worth talking about, nor does it stimulate other ideas (some wierd dreams perhaps, but no ideas).
So interact, dammit. I’ve accused myself of having the most boring web log in the world because all I write about is me and mine buying chairs. That claim was rebuffed. Which was nice, but ultimately irrelevant. So steal ideas. Even if it’s just annotating junk mail, or posting scans of grocery receipts, or something. Find something to link to, link to it, and say why you’re linking to it. If you’ve got an ingrowing toenail, write a poem to it. Or something. Is Spyro the Dargon any good? I know nothing about it at all.
