comments on blogs I've been reading

I have been busy finding blogs that I like, most of which are posted on this site. Wil Wheaton writes a terrific blog. My advice to you Wil about the issue of shaking strangers' hands at Gen Con events-DON'T! Don't worry about what those people say. Their criticism does not matter in the grand scheme of things. For more thoughts on the subject, check out Seth Godin's blog. He says that that kind of criticism is detrimental and is to be avoided and he is right. You have to do what is best for you. To Pines Lake Redhead: You can't pick your family, which is unfortunate, but you can find a good sisterly relationship with a friend. It sounds like your sister is very judgemental of you, and may be a bit jealous??
