What’s more, a blog is like a shark: If it stops moving, it dies. Without fresh postings every day—hell, every few minutes—even the most well-linked blog will quickly lose its audience. The A-listers cannot rest on their laurels. Federated Media owner John Battelle recently published a book on Google, and while on the book tour, he neglected his own well-trafficked blog (No. 81 on Technorati’s rankings) for several days. “And suddenly I was getting all these e-mails going, ‘If you don’t get your shit together, I’m out of here,’ ” he recalls. He stayed up late that night frantically adding posts. “If you start sucking,” he says, “it’s through.”
Writing about blogging on a blog has got to be some kind of "jump the shark" moment. Oh well, here is another: Fugazi. Once I drove to New Orleans by myself to see Fugazi live. This was the day after I spent all night writing a paper. Midway I had to pull over in some beat town to take a nap in a Mcdonalds parking lot. My son will be weaned on the soulful tunes of Fugazi.
Furniture has no say in life,
It was made to be used by people.
How many times have you felt like a bookcase
Sitting in living room gathering dust
Full of thought already written?
