My Decision Rests on Blogger

So, after searching for decades and decades, I have come to the conclusion that all pointless things must come to an end.

Now before you lean towards your computer screen in awe and wonder, I must first tell you two things:

1. I'm actually only 16, so at most I'd be able to do research for one decade on something like construction blocks
2. I'm not talking about advertising, bad software, or Justin Bieber. No, a rant like that would be much too pithy for a first post on a meek little blog such as this.
3. I cannot count.

What I'm talking about is the various blogging sites out there. WordPress, Livejournal, the Icelandic bloggsíða suður höf í fátækum svæðum á Írlandi: They're all crap! I've had it with them trying to coax money out of my credit-card-less pockets. They want me to buy a package so I can write Javascript on my blog. They want me to buy a package so I can edit the CSS. They want me to give them money to their supportive charity to help the people dying of crotchitis in the sweltering criterium races of Nevada. I say, let them rot!

Yes, the last one was a bit weird. But you get my drift. I don't want to spend money on something that could easily be arbitrary if companies weren't so finance-hungry. So here I am, settling down with Google's solution: Blogger. And I have to say, I'm really liking it. I've used Blogger for a while to maintain a kids' organization's website, and for some reason I wanted to try out WordPress, that is, until they bombarded me with short sentences ending with exclamation marks: Buy the better-than-yours WordPress version for only $12.99 per witty post per hour!*

Google has been my lifesaver. I'm always on Gmail. Always. I use Gmail to check my school mail because their interface is God-awful. I use Gmail to post updates to my organization's blog. I use Gmail to compose mail from several different accounts. Ever gotten an email from Bill Gates? There's a slight chance that that one was from me. That's right. Be afraid. Anyways, the basic gist of my first incoherent rambling (well, on this blog, anyways) is this: Google, while they can get kind of creepily invasive, is your best friend, no matter how hard Microsoft tries to look better than it. I'm sorry, but it's true. And on that bombshell, it's time to end.
