a blog?

so yeah i got pretty intrigued, if not jealous of a mate of mine who's got a pretty cool blog (hi tom!) [edit: how rude of me to not include a link] and figured he could do with some competition, although i dont think it's me who's going to give it to him. also a lot of lecturers and talking people at college go on about blogs as if theyre the answer to all creative success. as far as i'm concerned i think if i do this it'll give some sort of structure to my thinking and we'll all be better off for the experience.

i looked at the gadgets that you can add to your blog when you set it up. you can have a slideshow of all your photos on flickr, if you have any of course. i guess thats the next thing to tick off on my list. they also have a south african joke-a-day gadget which was bizarrely one of the most popular gadgets going. i tried to add it to see what all the fuss is about but there was an error, something like source not found. maybe thats the joke
