Man fired for blogging

While I was browsing for other people's blog sites, something interesting came up. "A Brit living and working in the US has been sacked from his job for running a blog." He is the second person got fired for running a blog after Steve Olafson.

It is amazing to see how much time people spend on blogging once you get into it. There is a very famous Japanese blogger in Japan, whose name is Joi Ito. In one of his blogs, he explained how he got time to blog so much. "I get up 4am and blog in the morning. I usually eat lunch at my desk and blog. The most important thing is that I have stopped going out drinking with Japanese businessmen..... So, if you took all of the drunken businessmen in the 75,000 bars and restaurants in Tokyo and made them go home and blog, the revolution in Japan might happen much more quickly". :)

You would think people would decide some things are important enough to stop blogging for a little while. For example, here's a guy who blogged while running a marathon (he was texting and taking photos on a Danger Hiptop) and a woman who blogged her way through childbirth. I don't know the emoticon for "straight face." :-|
