A 20 year old, to keep to the stereotype...
That is exactly what it is... a stereotype. I am a 20 year old (female) programmer working my way through college for a Fortune 500 company. I have learned just as much, if not more, by actually being in the "real world" than college could ever teach. There are several twenty-somethings in my department, but there are some older staff as well (excluding management). And yes, while I may be cheaper to hire, I know that I have contributed to the best of my ability and will continue to grow and learn with age. Remember, every middle-aged IT guru was once a wide-eyed, inexperienced youngin' like myself.
I saw the title and immediately thought of my hometown vicinity and -- ask any Maryland local, and they will tell you: "It's Ballmer, not Baltimore... HON!"
yes, a private text file would work well. But then I lose the functionality of a web log. This way, I can save what I write anywehere that has a web connection... work, home, school... without having to carry a disk with me. Besides, keeping up a "blog" isn't THAT important.:)
...by some of these posts. I just recently set up my own web log, and am not posting the link for a reason. I did it for me. I love to write in my free time. It is an easy, convenient way for me to express what I'm feeling at any given point in the day. Being a junior in college with an IT profession, what better way for me to maintain what I deem as a healthy hobby? No, I don't go around reading other people's "blogs" and losing myself in someone else's life (or what they protray of it). I write for everyone and no one. I could give two shits if anyone ever stumbles across my little site. It is simply my online "journal", and I see nothing wrong with that.

...that Slashdot subscribers will be able to see repeat posts from The Mysterious Future as well?
I make a phone call from my computer every day... it's called a dial-up connection.
...Bob?
Ok, did anyone else get linked to a site that merely said "Hey everybody, I'm looking at gay porno?"
