Readers, as I look back at the last TWO years (as I did with one year, yesterday) I find that May 2007 was ALSO a slow month for my blogging, even though job related effects could not have been at play (my job has changed since then, IIRC).
So whereas yesterday was Stephanie Zvan Day, I declare this day, May 14th, to be "Blogging is Hard Day."
On Blogging is Hard Day bloggers are allowed to reach back into their past and repost really old things that they suddenly realized are exactly in lie with the writing or research in which they are currently engaged. The blogger must reach back a minimum of 18 months, so only Very Experienced Bloggers can participate at the posting end of this holiday...
... but all the readers are welcome to get involved.
So, a little later today, I intend to post something that is almost exactly two years old, but happens to reflect exactly that which I am staring at on my other computer screen in outline form (using emacs outlining, BTW)....

Why don't you just crowdsource the blog today? Scientific American let readers wrote a collaborative article, why not a collaborative blog post?
Speaking of Sci Am . . . you are a big fan of open source, so why not give us your opinion on open source science? See http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=science-2-point-0

Like you need to make a play for geek cred.
Or were you trying to start a flame war instead? Vi RULEZ :wq

May 2007? Uh, oh.
btw, blogging is less hard when you're not working at two computers at the same time.

I suppose perspectives differ. I think of someone who's been blogging for only two years as a novice. Most of the blogs I follow have been running continuously for at least ten years or so. Some of them pre-date the Internet.
