Blogging and Postmodernism

The more I look into this blogging thing, the more it feels like an exercise in postmodernism. While lots would like to say that postmodernism is about rejecting traditional values (both opponents and proponents, I sometimes think), it is more than anything about there just being too much information. Too much information to make sense of in a logical, reasonable way, to the point where you question the ability of reason and of logic to make sense of anything. Blogs are like that. They're easy to make. There's one about anything and everything. Almost all of them are valid in their existence, and potentially valuable in their content (not this one, of course!). What do you do with all of them?! You could spend your whole life reading other people's thoughts. Is this just another way to ignore the real world? Is it a way to react with the real world?

Thank goodness for the various tools that let us sort through (if not make sense of) this innundation of information: I just downloaded firefox, and I've started hooking up some of the blogs and things that I read to live bookmarks. I held off for a while because I had tried firefox on my machine a while ago, and I didn't like it. It didn't show Perseus' new java interface properly. O well; I don't use Perseus that much anyways! It was also a little slow, but I found a tip on how to fix that here and it seems to work pretty well.
