The Silent Blogger, part XIV
Have I mentioned that July is one of the busiest months in the superelastic year? I believe I must have, somewhere. It's one of several months where operational tempo at Funny Company takes steroids, and what are normally mundane tasks for me there become Important and Oversupervised. Because it's July. The business side of media is full of peculiar considerations like that. For me, it means overlong workdays, leaving me with spare mental energy to muster for residual tasks. And once again, blogging takes a backseat for me. Feh. My regular readers have gotten used to it, but all these new people getting shunted over here by mentions at MassLive may be disappointed.

No shortage of commonplace and vulgar things for me to write about, mind. Just a lack of quality blog time in which to tell the tales. But there is good news. If I moved out of Massachusetts, I could save a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO. (GEICO, like most other mainstream auto insurance companies, doesn't write policies in MA... the over-regulation kills their profit margin... now you get the "joke", see?)

The actual good news is I've decided to renew for another year of hosting on Radio Userland. So the tales will keep coming, more or less as sporadically as they have thus far. When I started out, I'd had visions of building this into a place of Moveable Type wonder, with photos and graphics and geegaws and gimcracks, such that I'd have a "real" blog by now, ready to grow up and leave the nested safety of a template-driven host. But I never took the time to learn coding, or style sheets, or any of that which I'd hoped to do a year ago.

This coming year, I think I'll just strive to maintain fresh text. That's been enough of a challenge. 10:56:25 AM    comment []trackback []
