"...I'm so glad we had this time together..."
Is it time to retire our blogs? Has the moment passed? Will we look back in 10 years on the couple or three years we journaled online and attempted to fashion ourselves writers with the sahttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifme fondness we now reserve for parachute pants?
I think something is definitely changing. Eric, who was never prolific, now writes about 6 times a year. Joe's love may be invisible or not, according to his most recent post, but his blog sure is. Even Shigeki, who is now working at a less busy job, blogs less. Bert's blog has shuddered to a shuttered halt. Now he's the most prolific professional writer I know so I guess we can forgive him for not wanting to give it away for free, but now we all feel like a whore's husband. Hamish is about the only one who writes regularly, but even he has slowed down some. And Heipel is now a photo blogger. Which is nice and all as he takes lovely pictures, but he insists on adding copy to them. Its his prerogative I suppose, but really who the fuck cares about shutter speed - it's a pretty picture, let it stand.
And then there's me. There are many reasons I don't blog. Well, actually there are not. I'm just lazy. And now we're about to move to Hong Kong (by 'about to' I mean sometime in the next 8 months) and I'm going to be looking for a job over there. I wonder now whether I should remove the blog until at least I get a job? For the moment I'll leave it up, and contribute occasionally, but who knows what the future holds.
