David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

Blogging seems to be becoming more and more commercial. Yesterday, online magazine salon.com announced that they were going to begin hosting blogs. They're using the Radio UserLand software, and are charging $40/year for software updates and hosting.
Advantages of salon blogs: possibility of a high hit count, especially for early adopters. Disadvantages: the Radio UserLand software requires you to use client software running on your computer to update your site rather than using a web-based system to do so. This means you can only update from your home computer, which isn't very flexible.
We'll see how this pans out.
