Use Before 02/01/01. Not sure what
the name was all about, but the
author’s weblog was an honest,
wide-open tale of his everyday life. At
first I was a little turned-off by his
pessimistic outlook, not to mention
his terrible spelling. But after
reading through his weblog entries, I
was left feeling as if I knew him
better.
This one was one of those weblogs
you find yourself interested in for no
explainable reason. Perhaps it was
the unabashed glimpse into
Americana: the lifestyle of a regular
Joe, not the typical depressed ‘artist’
or techno geek that usually
maintains a weblog. Perhaps it was
the fact that I was reminded of
myself. Whatever the reason, this
weblog triggered introspective
thoughts in my head, causing me to
compare and contrast my life to his.
As for other aspects of the web site,
there wasn’t too much to speak of. A
typical bio about the author, and
some links to other people and
places on the internet were offered.
The design of the site was rather
bland, but that was probably
intentional. I wasn’t too hip on the
color scheme, but that may have
been the way it looked on my Mac.
