Blogging is time consuming. Time is the scarcest resource in the world, and I just don’t have enough spare time to waste on such a pointless activity. I have realised that I really need to get a proper hobby that isn’t just sitting in front of a computer. [...] [...] I take back what I said before. Blogging is time consuming.

The next pompous media columnist to condescendingly whine about blogging should be reminded of this.

Right... I trust you to give your opinion. I also expect you to back up assertions with links to sources if they're controversial. If you don't, I take it as just another valid opinion. I don't trust, for example, Guido, at all. Then again, I don't trust Private Eye either. But I read both, and take both with a pinch of salt. I'm more inclined to trust a blog than an unsourced op-ed, but I'll trust the actual real journalists <i>reporting</i> the news even more. Ah well, it fills the time while I'm busy.
