Do I need a good reason to be here?

Four and seven tenths seconds. That's how often a new blog is created.

Or so I've read.

Does that mean that about every five seconds, someone is acting on a good idea? Does everyone who establishes a blog have a good reason for doing so? Does the plentiful ease and availability of blogging rob the process of valuable contemplation? Should every thought be expressed? If the answer is yes, than should html or xml or java be the language in which is it expressed? Does the seemingly limitless capacity of the internet to accept, process and store vast amounts of data provide all the justification one needs? We blog because we can? The computer is there; the broadband is streaming; the hosting is free - why not? Does the bottomless internet gain an organic quality as it accepts and reflects so much of the human experience, or is it just garbage?

Am I writing this for you, for me or for eyes that will never see it?
