What I have been thinking because of this blog since I created it

A blog is supposed to be a kind of diary or log (audit trail?).

Ever since I created this blog a couple days ago, the one thought I have been having about it is that I think Blogger has created a really appealing format. I've taken the default attributes for this blog, and I think they look really great. Good work, www.blogger.com workers! (I do not have such positive feelings about very many things, on the Internet or anywhere else.)

Incipit blog? Q: Is Hello Kitty a philosopher?

I somehow wound up in blogger.com after clicking a link that took me to someone's already existing blog. I figured I might as well give blogging a try.

I was looking for any info on the Internet about the following question when I, a bit like Alice falling down the rabbit hole although without any sensory distortions (at least not so far...) found myself here. You are welcome to share your thoughts about this question:

Is Hello Kitty a philosopher?

Addendum: Let me elaborate auto-biographically. As a child, my social environment led me to believe that one could either be intelligent ("the life of the mind"...) or have fun (a rich "social life", good sex, etc.), but not both. [A physician at the Penn State University student health service once told me: "Perhaps your place in life is something other than to be successful with women."] Does Hello Kitty show that this cruel dichotomy is not necessary?
