My Space
Why would anyone want to use My Space? It sucks! It is ugly. It isn't refined. It is garish. Now don't get me wrong. I'm blogging about the style, not the people. I have no problem with people posting on the web, but of all the places to do it, why do it on My Space. Instead, this tool, Blogger, is the way to go. It is so powerful. I haven't been a consistent blogger, but yesterday while I was pulling an all-nighter at work, I rediscovered how cool this tool is.

Should anyone ever do a blog? If it is done well, it can be quite revealing. Is one's ego that great that they blog? I guess this is ego driven, although maybe it is just one trying to leave something for the world to know they were here. We live for such a short time and then we're gone. It is the eternal question of why am I here? Is blogging the answer? (just kidding -- I'm not serious about that last sentence.)

When I finally decided on creating a blog, I thought long and hard on a name. Well, maybe not real long, but I did think hard. At first I thought about having the weight of the world on my mind, so I thought about the mythology of who carried the world on their shoulders.

At first, I thought this was Hercules, but as I kept thinking about it, I remembered that Atlas had the Earth on his shoulders. I checked WikiPedia and confirmed it. I really like WikiPedia. Anything you want to know is there.

Then I did a Google search on Atlas and discovered links for mind atlases. A mind atlas is a mapping of the brain, so thought why not call my blog, Danny's Atlas -- a map of my mind.
