I want to suggest to everyone that the blogs should be a place for your personal commentary. What is it like in your life? How has your involvement (or non-involvement) in life extension affected you? What is your take on some of the news going on in the world and in life extension? Share your thoughts on the news, popular culture, your community. Share pictures. Pictures are worth a thousand words.

If you have more technical/scientific questions or discussion about supps/nutrition/exercise/current research then post in the forums (like usual) in order to get the most in-depth discussion going and thus allowing everyone to learn.

I'd like to nominate nootrope's "Introduction" blog post:

Does the blog have to be an imminst members Blog or does it have to be an imminst mebers blog hosted at imminst's blogs feature?

I thought of proposing my puny attempt at blogging to make it kinda more widely know and have some motivation to post to someone else then my myself and I.
It is located at http://smallstepstow...y.blogspot.com/
(i'd feature it in a signature here but alas that seems to have been disabled after the upgrade, right? well, shure helps readilibility so I ain't gona bitch)

Probably doesn't qualify exactly either anyway hm...
