Oh, and I was looking at other peoples Blogs and I realized something... I don't have a blog links section on my blog. I know that other people link to me, so it would only make reasonable sense that I would link to them, as well as other blogs I read regularly. As it turns out, the soap opera that makes up the gay/lesbian culture is incredibly interesting, so, obviously, most of my links are to those kind of sites. I'm not part of that culture, so most of what they talk about is new to me. The other blogs I list are for my immediate friends as well as some random stuff that I find while surfing the "10 most recent posts" on Blogger after I post. Right now the list is short, but I hope that I will eventually be able to put up more. (Although technically, at the time of writing, the list length is irrelevant as my blog can't even be published because Motoko is offline.) I just wish I could find that blog again that said, "Woke up this morning, wasn't ruler of the world. My plan, sleep them into submission doesn't seem to be working. I'll try again tonight." That blog was helarious. I'd do somthe like that, but then it wouldn't be original, it'd just be a copy of what he did.

I've also looked at what Livejournal has to offer. And to be honest, I'm not impressed. Everything I can get from Livejournal I could easily add myself (Like mood icons and such,) if I could find an adequate source for images. The comments feature I wrote myself, and I may add voting to my blog at some date, which is a paid feature on Livejournal. But it does have better community management tools than Blogger does... But that's what the link component is for. Besides, most of my friends have their sites here on the NQIG server, or on Oniakki's server. Either way that means that linking to them is easy. I like the image avatars on the comments, but I have a forum for that, the comments are just a way for me to get responses to my daily life, which is, expectantly not really that interesting anyway. But then again, my blog is about more than just my life. If it where, then it would just be a journal, and livejournal, or even my old news page would have sufficed. But, like I said, it's much more than that. It's a reflection on my own opinions, ideals, and viewpoints. A place for me to discuss topics that interest me. Side note: I did this before, but people give me funny looks when I'm giving myself a lecture on the disappearance of honor in modern western society. Here they say I'm Blogging and discussing world issues, there they say I'm a frickin' loon... ^_^;;;

In any case I've decided I will not start a livejournal, or if I do, it's just so I can have the nifty graphic avatar and a name when I comment on other people's livejournals.

Oh, and I'm thinking I might change my blog to "What Would Sarrl Do?" and switch out my random comment for a What Would Sarrl Do remark and describe how he'd react. Or I might just leave it Spiney Wisdom, and use the What Would Sarrl Do thing occassionally in response to dellima posts and not for standard statement posts and news posts...

WWSD*: Create his own blogging company, then covertly hire hackers to interfere with the pay for use systems of the other companies, thus eliminating the Blogger/Livejournal choice and leaving only Sarrlgging.com.
