A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Slow blogging?

Kind of a cool idea, actually. I don’t necessarily think that more blogging is always better (in case you couldn’t tell), or that “blog in haste, repent at leisure” is necessarily wise.

I find that my best posts (or at least the ones I like best) are the ones that I think about a bit beforehand, but not necessarily ones that go through rounds and rounds of revision (I almost always end up deleting those ones before posting them, since they seem to get “stale” after too much overthinking and tweaking). The blogging I like best hits some kind of sweet spot between the quickie link-post and the fully fleshed out and polished essay.
