Another example of how blogging adds a twist to life. (from MeFi)
This 15 year old kid runs a weblog. Sometimes he updates it from the school computers. The school find out and decide he’s breaking the rules, even though the rules are not up to date enough to cover blogging. He, a good student, gets expelled. So what does he do? He writes about it on his weblog. He gets loads of feedback and gets linked to by various censorship and liberty sites and so forth. The end result is he goes from crying in the principles office to thinking, hang on a second, I might be able to fight this.
Nice.
