I’m still trying to figure out how to work regular blogging into my new, less flexible, schedule, as you may have noticed from the erratic posting. I’ve been shooting for posting a series of shorter posts once or twice during the week with maybe a longer essay on the weekends. I still haven’t quite figured out how to make that gel, but the situation has had the unintended effect of getting me to realize that I’m not really much interested in trying to keep up with the blog-world on a daily basis anymore. No doubt partly due to the election season, there’s just more commentary than any one person can possibly digest. So why would I want to contribute to the intellectual flotsam? Hopefully, then, the new schedule will make it easier for me to pull back and blog about bigger picture type stuff – not the latest campaign gaffe or outrage du jour. (There’ll still be heavy metal videos, though!)
