Growing up, I never had the privilege of having the internet at my household. My parents didn’t see a reason to have it since all of our schoolwork that had to do with a computer had to be typed. I became familiar with use the internet from the occasional visits to my high school library. It was until my freshman year in college when I began to frequently use the internet.
My experience with legit blogging has just begun as I was informed to complete assignments using blogs as the medium. I have previously used the internet to post anecdotes about unique occurrences to my friends on MySpace, but it was very informal. The anecdotes usually consisted of humorous situations that I was involved in throughout my day in college. I decided to post these stories because I wanted to tell my high school friends about my college experience. They began as detailed stories having to do with my interactions with strangers but have now evolved into dialogues as short as two lines involving my family. Even though I receive very little feedback from my friends, I plan on continuing with the habit of publishing funny stories for my friends to read. I hope I have the opportunity to do the same with this type of blogging.

Miguel, you mention humor and "funny narratives" a few times in this post and I'm curious to know more about the relationship between humor and writing for you. I am even more interested, however, in the way you begin your post on the issue of Internet access. This is an extremely important question for us to consider as we utilize and, in fact, depend on the Internet in this class. We will want to consider whether or not "open source software," such as Blogger, is as "open" and "free" as Google wants us to believe.
