Now I am… 11?

by Alex

It’s taken more than half a month, but I’ve finally found time to sit down and write a brief note here to celebrate the fact that my blog is now 11 years old. Perseverance in the blogosphere is easy, especially if you only bother to update your blog once a year! I think in fact I’ve posted more this year than I have last year, but I’m not ashamed of the slowdown here — it’s a problem of success. Twitter has stolen some of the more concise entries and Savage Minds the longer ones, and I have less and less to say publicly as more and more of my life is entangled in the biographies of others. It is one thing to try not to inadvertently create a Google trail for your spouse, quite another to manage to share information about your kids with your family and friends but without creating a resevoir of baby pics in the Internetz memory bank that will come back to haunt them when they start dating.

So… onward! Upward! Who knows what biographical turn might galvanize this blog back into action again? Middle age awaits!
