A few months back, Sven Birkerts had a thoughtful piece in the Boston Globe, Lost in the Blogosphere, about the difference between blogs and essays (gross overgeneralization, Sven, apologies). He captured one category of blog post with the words in the title of this one, posts that begin "I've been thinking..." Today, I received notice of someone's new blog and the very first post begins with these words. Need I say that Sven doesn't regard writing that begins so as generally leading to anything the reader might find interesting?
Bloggers beware. Think before you type and then don't mention that part.
