The Evolution of a Blog

I find it kind of interesting how much my blog has changed in little over a year of syndication. When I first started this blog, I had little idea what type of blog I would create, and indeed, I had had the idea of creating some technical blog, where I would feature technical news and findings. The earliest entries reflect this, and are rather stupid.

My first post of the commentary genre, and the first post of any real length was a post about the post about the whole scandal at the 2006 Winter Formal, when some froshies came drunk. Following on its heels was the first of a few posts about Operation Save America.

I didn't really talk about much meaningfull until a post about The N and Degrassi. Directly following that post, I wrote my first post that dealt with my views on sex-ed and sexuality in general. It also gave me my first real comment. I later chose to follow that up with a post on "abstinence only" sex-ed.

From then, I tried to steer my blog in the direction of commentaries for social issues, and keep from becoming some personal insight into my personal life. The world needs no more of those.

Some other posts of note:

• 14-year -old girls and MySpace: I was a little worried about posting this, because it referenced some girls who were most likely friends of people who read this blog on Facebook. I decided to post it anyway, because none of them mentioned any names.
• Measure 43: Choose choice: This blog does offer me the chance to comment on certain social issues that I feel strongly about, like Measure 43, which would have required parental notification for abortions in Oregon, were it not defeated in the 2006 midterm elections.
• Panty Raider: This post is responsible for a lot of people finding my page by searching for "panty." Ah well.
• The Preppification of Catlin Gabel: A post I wrote about the changes in the Catlin Gabel marketing program.
