The internet is a black hole for time and I often wonder what I might be doing if I weren't online. So occasionally, I have taken a holiday and discovered that life goes on even if I am not wired in. More on that in a bit.
As I have begun to blog, I have also attached myself to other blogs to follow them. I have periodically read and searched blogs on specific topics in the past as they have come up on searches but I have not followed any specific blog. Now, with the Blogger aggregator, I get every posting on specific blogs. I have only subscribed to follow about four blogs but what I have seen has been a real eye opener.
My whole entry into trying to blog stemmed, as said in an earlier posting, from Andrew Sullivan's article in the Atlantic. So I went to his blog and set myself up to follow it. It is The Daily Dish at http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/ and after just a few days, it is clear that this is way more than "daily." Sullivan seems to post about 5 or more times a day. Mind you, the postings are often short and quite literate but what is the day like for someone who is posting multiple times. Of course, he is paid to do this!
No risk here. I have my unrelated day job.
