Introduction

This is an abstract base class to help us model a blob of data.

We use this class as our parent class for image files, music files, and video files.

A blob provides a few basic capabilities:

• Access a blob via a file path on the local filesystem.
• Access a blob via a URI.
• Upload a blob by using a typical web browser form.
