This is a poll of sorts…I like my new blog, but I don’t know who else is blogging, and I bet you don’t either. So, if you feel like sharing…
I suppose it is a blog, but “blog” always makes me think of some political chatter or something. Anywho:
1: Angel’s Democratic Republic of Happiness.
2: I posted the picture that will be on the money when my junta takes over a small South American drug country. I’ve got all the trappings of a dictator: the military hat, the shiny sunglasses, and the large, bushy beard. VIVA!
3: Sure. Comments are always fun. Well, mostly because they give me something to respond to when I’m bored.
DiosaBellissima, feel free to snag the picture. 
All I did was layer 3 other pictures, so I can’t claim it took much skill to produce. If it weren’t for needing to make a picture of real bullets look like a drawing, it’d of required no skill at all!
Here is mine: http://www.jtcent.com/nempa/index.html (Disney theme parks related)
A translation of the official Japanese Disney site.
Sure! All are welcomed.

When The J Train pulls up to the station, everybody gets off!
A plug for my radio show tomorrow night. Check it out!
Absolultely!
I don’t have a blog, on the theory very few people actually care what I think about any given topic…
Behold NixGrim - a site dedicated to the birth and growth of our baby girl
My wife keeps it up to date more than I do, and the most recent posts are about getting the munchkin to sleep on her back and stop waking her parents up for turning over duties…
Its aimed mostly at friends and family across the world to save thier inboxes from being bombarded by masses of pics, but - why not?

I also have a personal LiveJournal, but I’m not using that for this purpose, as I don’t want my mom or aunts to know how much I swear when they’re not looking.
1. What’s the URL to your blog?
http://www.justanothergeekwithablog.blogspot.com. Not to be confused with JustAnotherGeek’s blog (for which I do not know the address, or if it even exists).
It’s a pretty new blog. I just haven’t gotten into the blogging fad, and to be honest I probably won’t update it enough to call myself a blogger. This is probably a good thing, because I hate the word “blogger”.
The theory behind my blog is that I’d occasionally make hearty technical posts about things that I learn while I’m programming, interspersed with random posts about my life. In theory, other programmers who are facing similar problems would stumble upon my blog, read my solution, try it out for themselves, and post a comment about how awesome I am. Then they’d bookmark my blog and tell all their friends about it. Eventually, I’d gather a large following. Occasionally a smartass would post a comment about how they found a better solution, but I’d suppress my incredible rage and compose a level-headed reply thanking them for contributing to the knowledge pool. I’d also gather a large following of non-programmers who would skim over my technical posts and say “gosh darn it he’s clever” but really hang out for my mundane personal posts. Then one day some large company would offer me money for writing an article for their magazine/journal/knowledge base. And I’d say “thanks, but I’m not in it for the money.” And all the girls would swoon.
Well, that’s the theory. In practice, I’m halfway there. I’ve written one post about a programming trick and I’ve got a mysterious visitor who doesn’t really understand it.
2. What’s the last thing you’ve blogged about?
One of my world-famous technical posts: Preloading a password box in an HTML form. A stunning treatise about how I got around the fact that web browsers seem to gobble up the initial contents of password inputs.
3. Are comments from Doper visitors okay?
Well, the last sentence of my last post is:
Please post a comment if you can shed some light on these mysteries, or if you found this post particularly useful or useless, or if you read this post at all!
So if you do read it, you’re pretty much bound by law to comment. Consider yourself warned.
Rather than post something inflamatory or negative, I’ll just ask a question. How is blogging a beneficial use of bandwidth?
Please note that world news services, and other such information based blogs are excepted.
Personal blogs, how and why do they have any worth?
I write one because I enjoy writing, and I’m more inclined to do it when I have a perceived audience, however small.
I read several because I enjoy reading what other people have to say on various topics.
Easy example for you: my friend Jason. Through his web log (I loathe the words blog, blogger, blogging and associated words), a meeting was arranged this past weekend. The restaurant hosting the meeting made money they otherwise possibly wouldn’t have.
In the past, he’s posted links to a number of iTunes and other such pay services, and a number of free tunes that enrich lives beyond your capitalist dollar signs;) Then there’s the information he’s pointed people to (which I guess qualifies under your “and other such information-based” heading … but his web log isn’t nearly all about information services).
Via a livejournal community I’ve discussed here before, I’ve gained knowledge specific to my field that I would probably otherwise not have happened upon until at least some time later. Specifically, I’ve used this information in two job interviews that saw me land the position. While doing research for entries in my journal (and the community), I’ve found resources I quite possibly would not have found otherwise. While in that community, I’ve helped and seen helped a number of people, both professionally and personally.
I don’t think it’s a useful distinction to differentiate between news-providing web logs and those whose main purpose is not to disseminate headlines. I have posted a number of “Hey, did you see this headline” entries, and many of my friends have as well. That isn’t the prime objective of my journal, though. I think what you’re getting at is “news the general public doesn’t care about,” or perhaps “things people don’t suffer for if they don’t read 'em.” If my assessment is accurate, I submit to you that the vast bulk of what the newsmedia put out is not a hell of a lot more important than the community of web logs not trying to serve some sort of Important News purpose.
Hardly a blog, but my myspace blog has info about music I put up there, upcoming gigs, and at times just comments on music and life in genderal. Again its hardly a blog though
What’s the URL to your blog?

What’s the last thing you’ve blogged about?
My trip to Tahoe last Saturday…but I’m about to update.
Are comments from Doper visitors okay?
I welcome any comments although I haven’t gotten any yet.
My blog is http://extrakun.blogspot.com
The last thing I blogged about is “Asian X-box 360 Gamers are Guinea Pigs for Microsoft”
There are not much comments over there.
dbgrrl and my fiance, who is funnier than me: expimp
Random crap, same as I always blog about. It’s mostly for all my long distance friends to keep up with me (and vice versa). Better than a mass email I guess!
Of course!
URL to my blog: http:/ /www.lipstick-vote.com/blog/
Last thing I blogged about: a photo of Elisha Cuthbert applying lipgloss
Are comments from Dopers ok? Sure…
Bandwidth is not land. There is not a finite amount of bandwidth in the world. We can always make more of it.
I hate the word blog and all phrases spun off of it (um, blogosphere, wtf?) but I do have an online journal. I won’t list the url to avoid spammers, but I’m themachinestops at Livejournal (for my lack of money, still the best free journal software out there). Then again I barely post and never about important topics. I’m a bandwidth thief.
