You don't hear a lot about it here, because I make it a point not to bore my readers, but there was a good article in Sunday's New York Times on bloggers who focus mainly on themselves -- not politics, not music, not movies -- but good ol' #1.

In my early blogging days I experienced a little of what some of these personal bloggers have occasionally subjected themselves to when I outlined my theory on blind-dating and the matchmakers (no, I'm not linking to it -- find it yourself in the archives if you're that interested). The matchmaker of the blind-date that prompted my piece was not happy (and that's an understatement). Since then I've mainly kept my personal life out of this blog -- and will continue to do so.

So, all you lovely ladies out there, feel free to drop me a line with the assurance that I won't comment on our date on this page.
