Inbetween watching Idol I spend a lot of time tripping around the internet.  Considering that I earn my living off various websites, it's always fun to read blogs about people jumping into the world of blogging.

Take this Christian blogger for example.  His website, the Habitation of Justice is one man's such journey in life.  He one day hopes to quit his job and live off revenue generated from the internet.  In the meantime, he's telling his story through a series of blog posts and traveling photos as he goes about his life.

There are so many stories to be told online by so many people and every now and then you stumble across a blog that you just have to add to your rss feed, bookmarks, favourites or however else you keep track of the sites you want to keep coming back to.
