I could make it multi-use and informational.

I could use it as a personal blog and ...
I could advertise other people., other links, etc.
I could make it an art portfolio (um, except I only want one and in hard copy, etc; so, NO).
I could use it to make what I would have normally been submitting as police reports and complaints about various different "discoveries" I have in my one and only current income job of driving a pedicab
I could blog my nightly experience as a pedicab in Downtown San Diego and share, like everyone else, my own special little world views.
I could use it for any numerous projects I have proposed publicly including alternative form GIS mapping of Downtown San Diego (idea now copyrighted, too).
