A Quick One While He's Away.... · 165 words posted 03/15/2005 11:28 AM
since1968 has been quiet for much longer than I initially intended. Not only does freelance programming keeps me busy these days, but unstructured writing isn’t as fun as it used to be. I was all set to write a lengthy essay about what’s wrong with blogging, with footnotes and pull quotes from bored bloggers, but you already know the story: everything is too meta. There’s too much writing about writing, and not enough original content.
The cure for boredom? Stop doing what’s boring you, and escape from self. Substance abuse and florid sexuality being off limits (I’m a pretty conservative guy), I did the next best thing: a trip to India. You can see some of the pictures on flickr.
About the writing: I’ve arranged with a third party to publish a column on a regular basis. More on that when the first article comes out. And I’m retooling since1968 into an online magazine, either a bi-monthly or quarterly. See you again when it’s ready.
