It occurs to me that blogging has a history - and were computers around in Roman times one of the first would have been Marcus Aurelius."The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts, therefore guard accordingly and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature."
More on this seminal thinker can be found here.
Another early user of this genre was Blaise Pascal. He was a first rate mathematician and penned his ideas of life and its meaning in his famous 'Pensees'. Interesting background on his life and thought can be found here.
"In every dialogue and discourse we must be able to say to those who take offense 'of what do you complain?'."
Blaise Pascal
