I just created this blog, literally five mintues ago, which was literally five minutes after I got home from school. Setting it up was incredibly simple, which I greatly appreciate seeing as how I am usually technologically challenged. And when this assignment was first mentioned in our Mass Comm lecture today, I originally thought it would be really simple, and not time consuming in the least. I'm starting to think I was wrong. It's beginning to dawn on me that what I'm writing at this very moment is going to be put out into the universe for everyone and anyone (who is interested, that is) to read and comment on. Suddenly, I feel especially powerful. Not in a maniacal "take over the world" sense, but powerful in a way that means that what I say could impact someone else. Since I've never been a blogger before, this is new territory for me, and I'm really excited to get the chance to say what i need to say (in the epic words of John Mayer). I've been given the chance to put myself and my thoughts out there, and I can't wait to show (and see) what I'm made of.
Until next week, happy blogging:)

great first post. i'm happy to read that you're excited about the possibilities of academic blogging. it's exciting to read that you're entering new territory and that you're hopeful your work will "impact someone else." it will be interesting to see what that impact will be....
keep writing,
i.
It sounds like the surprise of the blog's simplicity inspired some technological confidence, which is exciting. Do you think this success will lead you to try out other forms of technology?
