When I was in grad school, my adviser often told us that we have an obligation to publish, since we depend on the research and publications of others to perform our own work. He would say, "Give a little, get a lot", meaning that we should give a little (a manuscript or two a year) and get a lot (dozens of articles we read a month, which turns into new ideas and new opportunities).
I relate this anecdote because I feel the same way about blogging. I read a lot of blogs in my spare time. Thus, I feel an obligation to blog and contribute, which is odd considering nobody is actually reading this blog yet.
Anyway, back to our story...
