Turn off your computers, introduce yourself to your spouse, go see a movie, play with your kids. There’s no point in being online – Bruce is on vacation. If you’re one of my clients, as always, I advise you not to use your computers at all while I’m gone – it’s not worth the risk.

I maintain this news page with Blogger, a wonderful free service that makes it easy to publish short, frequently updated posts arranged chronologically. Blogs can be set up to facilitate small group collaboration, or they can be online diaries full of adolescent angst, or they can be anything else dreamed up by a fertile imagination.

This is an interesting experiment for the bruceb news page! It’s constructed using Blogger.com, one of the most popular resources for creating an online journal. Here’s an article from MSNBC about the growth in public online journals and diaries.
