Once upon a time there was a man who decided to create a blog. He did. He wrote things there regularly. He was more faithful to the blog than to his wife. He cared for it more than he cared for his dog Spot. He visited it more often than he visited the pub where his friends hung out after work. The blog thrived on such care and attention. It grew with each post. At first the posts were weekly, then daily, then hourly. After a while, the man found himself uploading his work related files into the blog. Who would care to read tax spreadsheets for five counties? Well, the blog didn't object. It just accepted everything the man could upload with the same satisfaction and posted it. The blog grew and grew with each post. And the more it grew, the hungrier it became. The man grew tired of posting entries into the blog, but he could not stop. And when the man ran out of ideas, journalnotes, spreadsheets, even high resolution pictures of supermodels, he tried to sign out. The blog snarled at him. The man started in surprise. And the blog ate him.
