Blogged

Thanks, perfect stranger

You can find just about anything on the web by accident. Even timely succor.

Failure doesn’t stop me from blogging. In fact, I prefer the failure of a blog post to the failure of a newspaper column. Back when I was a columnist and reporter, I had to wait days to redeem myself from a crappy newspaper story, but with my blog I can atone in real time. Blogs are the most forgiving communications tools in history — they are designed to absorb defeat and encourage endless second chances.

You know, if blogs are people, then maybe those people are moms. No matter how much you screw up or make a fool of yourself, your mom, just like your blog, will always be there to make you feel better.

Okay, then. Moving on!
