Dan Steinberg's Olympics Blog
Little by little, I've been writing about my own idiosyncracies on this blog. It seems that most of my posts fall under the "personal" umbrella as I am virtually incapable of writing anything without tangentially mentioning something that happened to me when I was seven years old or my penchant for getting deals at the supermarket. Anyone reading this probably learns much more about me than is ever really necessary, so for that, I apologize.
Blogs seem to be the perfect forum for the TMI Era: the Too Much Information Era. Mopey teenagers have blogs devoted soley to what shade of black their nailpolish is today. Bored professionals get fired due to their not-so-professional blogging habits. Cair Pierce tells you about her obsession with the Olympics.
Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post has a rather hilarious blog on the Olympics. Whether or not this hilarity is intentional is besides the point. His ramblings make me look like a regular literary genius. I love how he is obsessed with cheese and Norwegian TV announcers hairdos, and feels no need to keep this information from the public. In short, Dan Steinberg is my hero.

I think blogs are definately a place to share personal details and if it is too much information your readers should stop reading. But that's just my opinion. I don't want to know what shade of black their nail polish is, so I don't read their blogs. I think for some people blogs serve as a dairy they can type. They don't necessarily think anyone will read it or care, but getting their feelings out there helps them deal with it. I will have to look at Dan Steinberg's blog- it sounds very interesting.
Cair,
You know their is a Dan Steinberg that works in the communication department right? He is just about the best professor i've had here at Ohio State.
I started reading it thinking, "she knows him too." But ya tricked me!
