Two quick thoughts:
First, I was grumbling about how I rarely get substantive conversational e-mails from people these days, and I realized that it's because I blog so friggin' much. My old blog featured short entries with no option for comments, so friends from whom I was separated geographically were obliged to stay in touch via e-mail. Now, everyone who gives even one quarter of one shit about what I'm up to has a pretty good idea and can chime in whenever they feel like it in the comments. I will always prefer e-mail to a blog comment, but I am reconciled to this brave new bloggy world nevertheless.
Second, everyone knows that I have a Devo tattoo on my shins. Sometimes, however, even I forget how awesome Devo's first full-length major label album (Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!) really is. It's kind of like unstoppably amazing music, from Uncontrollable Urge to Shrivel Up. It's the soundtrack to nerd sex.

You're right on blogs leading to less email. I am guilty of laziness as it is just easier to check a blog quickly and leave a short message. It's like one-stop shopping. You're description on DEVO is also on target.
