An Olympian's story
Just stumbled across Scott Goldblatt's Olympic Weblog which is a well written, entertaining look at the Athens Olympics from the athletes' view. He seems to be a very dedicated blogger and I think it's blogs like these that really show the power of the medium. Not quite news, not quite diaries, but combining the best bits of both.

I've recently read through my own and have noticed a slight shift in the tone of my weblog... it doesn't seem quite as personal and intimate as it was before. I don't know whether it's because nothing interesting's happened (a lot has, actually) or I've become more guarded in my approach to my personal life.
The thing is, my life has actually become MORE interesting of late... I've been out every night this week for example, with the SC munchkins on Monday (barbecue at Guido's), and the IT gang on Tuesday and met Layah's friend Vicky on Wednesday. But I can't summon the energy to paint a vibrant picture of each of thse, and I definitely don't want to be one of those autobloggers who go "did this... did that..." Boring!
I've been here before though... the enjoyment I get out of life is inversely related to the amount of time and effort I spend writing about it... which is pretty bad news!
