Blog Time
There's some research out there on blogging activity: How many blogs are out there, how many are abandoned, frequency of updates, etc. But, having dabbled ever so lightly in online diarizing, and having come across some reasonably well informed, well written, and constantly updated blogs -- let's list BoingBoing (maintained by a group of friends), Dan Gillmor's eJournal, the Volokh Conspiracy, and Bruce Sterling's Wired blog (modestly titled Beyond the Beyond) for starters -- the question I always have is: Where do these people find the time?
For me, it's a conundrum: Getting my work done in a halfway respectable manner, doing the nonwork stuff I want to do (in random order: cycling, working out, being a halfway attentive husband, father, son, brother, and friend, reading, and watching "24" and "Survivor," then thinking about and occasionally noodling with "my spare-time literary activities," which might, by a stretch, be said to include blogging ).
I don't see any research about that. Maybe there's a story in it.
