Month: January 2015

I’m concerned that I don’t spend my time wisely.  Does everyone feel that way?

I read this good article about the “history” of blogging.  I say “history” in quotes because the idea that past years represents a historical period is silly.  Still, a lot has happened and blogging has changed a lot.  This article from Ezra Klein covers the it well:

“Blogging encourages interjections into conversations, and it thrives off of familiarity.”

Read it here:

It was more about long-term relationships that one-night stands.  Or is still that way and the people who were successful have changed?

The internet.  The be-all, end-all of publishing.  There are no more constraints: if you want to write something, you do it.  If people like it, they read and come back.  That was story of Andrew Sullivan.  The man who introduced me to the internet.

He’s leaving now, and for good reason. It’s impossible to keep up at the pace that he did.  So he has stopped.

I eagerly await what comes next.  But for me, I wonder:  is this the time that I’ll commit my thoughts to the world? Like he did? For Ill or Good Will? It’s as good a spark as any to commit.  And I’ll be humbled and surprised if I could accomplish a tenth of what he did. Even if I spend the next 30 years to do it.  Just wow, is all I need to say now.
