Who doesn't have a blog for their personal life available for the general public to read? Still a vast majority of people, thankfully, yet such a large number people I know do, and the idea of cyberspace autobiographies being pushed ever more tightly into a web of interlinking networked familiarity has always intrigued me. You are reading a minute portion of immediate grassroots international history from primary sources. Enjoy.
Actually, my brother-in-law began writing a blog for his life recently, and I found it inspiring because you discover all sorts of things people will write about themselves which simply do not surface in conversations-or by any other means. A person like myself, especially, is likely to reveal numerous facets of his character/personality which he otherwise would find little occasion to do. The only question is whether anyone really cares to familiarize themselves with such information?
On the other hand, I now have several out-of-town friends and family who may want to shuffle through my hazardous, wayward musings and altruistic essays toward the good of mankind for practical information on, say, what Idris did today after his nap.
I have no idea what sort of information/thoughts I will post here. I just know that I occasionally enjoy reading my friends' blogs and one person once asked me to write a blog so he could keep up on my life more easily. I'm terribly obliging.
Thanks for reading.
PS The title for this blog is derived from my e-mail address, Maudeline@hotmail.com, and people asking me what "Maudeline" means, in case you were wondering

Wow, this is a great blog! I'd recommend it to anyone.
Hey, Ben!
Congratulations on the house! Fabulous news.
I am proud to be one of the Original 20.
Idris has an elfin look. Have other people noted that?
Peggy
Yes, one other person has mentioned that. Maybe that has something to do with the love of swords?
This is great Benjamin! I love you!!!
You're right, I'm curious...what does "blog" mean?
like a captain's log, or a ship's log, but with a "b" because it's on the internet
