why blog?

There have got to be a zillion different reasons for people to write a weblog. Here's an excerpt from one of the nicest that I have seen. Taken from everything2.
Just think - those of us who write weblogs will have an amazing record of what it was like to live our lives during the times when we recorded what struck us in our logs. This is something that historically has only happened occasionally, with those who were especially dedicated diarists.

I have found a great sense of satisfaction in writing my weblog, and I've realized what I like so much about it - I use my weblog to share my experience of being alive.

If I died tomorrow, my daughter would have a window into who her mother was, what I thought was beautiful and good in the world, what bothered me, what I cared about, and most importantly, what she meant to me. ...

You see, my weblog is my epitaph. And I get to write it. What a privilege!
