People have asked me why I blog, since my blog is not, ahem, the most trafficked of weblogs out there. For an answer, I turn to a quote from George Orwell that I stumbled upon recently:

“To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle. One thing that helps towards it is to keep a diary, or, at any rate, to keep some kind of record of one’s opinions about important events. Otherwise, when some particularly absurd belief is exploded by events, one may simply forget that one ever held it."

For what it's worth, this is why I continue to blog.
