DigitalDomain is one year old today.  It all began as a test of blogware.  The experience has been wonderful and I have accomplished everything I have set out to do, which is generate traffic  

I get very retrospective on my own birthday, which is typically a depressing time for me.  I am first of all tired of blogging.  Three things can happen when you blog.  The first is that no one cares and there is no traffic in which case it dies shortly unless you are mentally disturbed and blogging is a way to channel the problem aways.  The second thing is that the blog generates traffic and the blogger gets on a treadmill until sheer exhaustion stops the blogger.  The third thing is the blogger is successful and powered by nuclear fusion continues to blog to the end of time, which is the blogger's death.  What do I do now?

I have met many people from my blogging activities.  Surprisingly, they are very similar in mind to me.  Many people have found the support they need from the Internet.  People have found their soulmates.  And the whole blogging phenomenon and the so called blogsphere is leading to something wonderful (thinking in the context of Space Odyssey 2001).   Can the blogsphere change our views on life and our social consciousness?  Yes, it can.

In addition to blogging, I have also spent way too much time on the different blogging communities and their bloggers.  There are some brillant writers and minds out there.  The power of all these bright minds can now be heard and that is bound to have an impact - laws of physics "Every force has an equal an opposite reaction."  With all the wealth of information at your finger tips, I can only hope something wonderful is going to happen

What do I do now?  I am tired of the blogging treadmill.  I will keep up the Family portion of the blog going but the Stock Market Ramblings posting are going to get more infrequent.  This maybe a reflection of the market doldrums.  Who knows?  I like to spend more time but that is like squeezing water from a rock - or is it blood from a rock? 

I am now fully convinced (not that I was not before) that the Internet and what it does for us is going to take us to a whole new level of evolution.  The Internet is the most fertile ground for nuturing and growing the mind. 

For now, today is DigitalDomain Birthday!  Happy One Year old!  It has been sweet ....
