Take This Blog and Shove It!

Apparently I have not been alone in neglecting my blog recently. Newsweek reports that a "recent Pew study found that blogging has withered as a pastime..."

Turns out that people get distracted by other things, particularly if they are not getting paid to make "contributions to the hive mind."

Here are some of the posts I could have written over the past few months if I were more attentive.

• Tick-bit blues
• Living in "interesting times"
• Real custom-built PCs
• Internet clock-radio
• Dorm machine
• My Chinese fanclub

Since blogging is no longer fashionable, I hope to be more diligent. Hip is not for me.
