I've had my own rarely-used and even more rarely-read blog for quite some time over at CONTRADICTION.INFO, and despite its only occasional use, I'm still a firm believer in the value of a blog.

I've always felt like the most interesting thing on the internet is the people who populate it and what makes them tick. Before the days of blogging, a personal homepage consisted of photos of your cat, your preferred football team logo and some animated GIFs of your then-favorite TV show (long-since cancelled but the page some how never got updated).

But blogs have become something of a public diary -- a glimpse into the daily routine thoughts, hopes & fears of a collective populace. It's held up a mirror (granted, often a self-aggrandizing & somewhat skewed mirror) to the very humanity of the internet's inhabitants. And I think that's cool.

So it's in that spirit that I post this, the very first post on the very first BZPower hosted community blog.

This will be an option available to all Premier Members of BZPower as an additional "thank you" for their continuted support of this little corner of the 'net. We've always thought it was a special place, and from the feedback we get, I don't think we're alone in that sentiment.

Enjoy!
