My Socks.... (And Leaving a Mark). Are you leaving a mark on the world that you were here?



I have the exact same pair in the drawer somewhere!




What's the point of this? Nothing.... Well, nothing excepting one thing; and that's about blogging. 


Blogging is different from Facebook and Twitter in one big way. On Facebook and Twitter, one comments and leaves a photo or link, then that message quickly floats back into oblivion. 


A blog post? It remains. A blog post leaves a mark.


Even when I die, this post will still be here, fifty years from now.


Are you leaving a mark?

    I'm not leaving much of a mark. Er, as much as I could.

    While reading your BBQ post I was thinking: you leave a huge mark, i.e. the things you do for your child's classmates, this blog, articles you've written, and being the one who saved a BBQ. Impressive stuff and an elevated example to best.

    I tried enlightening a couple of younger guys about economics and liberty at a bar last night, heh, they actually ran from me. Couple of others listened though.

    A weird quirk for this blog and Firefox 5.0:

    For awhile I thought you were messing around and getting rid of comments.
    That was a bit of a downer. Heh, thought maybe you'd had enough of my imperfect comments or something?
    Turns out I have to open a blog entry in a new tab to see the comments, otherwise it's like there are no comments or a place to post them.

    Makes the tiny marks hard to find.

    Just an observation I thought you might like to know.

    Hm, it's not doing that now.
    It's not a constant thing.
    I wonder if it was because you were uploading to the page?

    Anyway, it happened a couple of times.
    Maybe I shouldn't have said anything?

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
