Mental Health Breaks aka Why Blog?

I had to take a mental health break from blogging after a manic week.  It lead to quite a few good things:

1.  Going to the ice rink with a new friend to teach her how to skate in the hopes of us both joining a hockey team in the near future.  This really wasn't a function of me not blogging, just one of getting out of the apartment.
2.  Skipping doing any work for my group project that will be presented on Friday.  This in itself was maybe not so good, but it lead to me rapidly searching through the faculty list at the University of Toronto iSchool this morning when our group met to plan.  That lead me to one lecturer's personal blog, to another lecturer's professional blog (from Vladivostok!), to his personal blog, to THIS.  Which I am currently enjoying so much that I propose:  Why read anything else or write anything with more than a blush of real information or ideas?

Here is a visual from the link that makes this post more purdy.

My score was 7 and it took me approx. 5 minutes.

AND if you click on this link you get taken to all the May 2010 posts from XKCD (see first link in this post) wherein you will find some simply amazing links to fan-analyses of the information contained in the first link.  And you will also read a post dedicated to sex/gender questions with regard to above link, which I found particularly interesting to read, in terms of the thought process, etc.
