- The post that went awry yesterday was me trying to point the finger at media for creating categories of news that need to be filled on a constant basis. These categories are not as simple as ‘human interest’ but more defined and complex such as ‘beautiful woman in tragic situation’. These are categories that are created by so-called human interest, which is really a happy way of saying ‘eyes on the screen’. Once the news decided to start choosing news based on crowd appeal, we lost. All of it.
- Moving is really really hard. On every possible level it is a tough thing to do well.
- The missing post ought to be loaded up soon.
- I remain tired and sick and less than happy about the lack of productivity that mars my personal and professional life.
- No, I’m not presently doing anything about it.
- Yes, I’m spending the majority of my free time ‘on the sticks’
- Yes, the blog is really starting to suck. I know. I wish I had a lot more to say,
- No, I’m not depressed. I’m just crazy lazy and unmotivated. While this in of itself sounds like depression, it sounds more like what is finally forming into a midlife crisis.
- Yes, I’m happy to see the crisis arrive and totally unclear on how to deal with it.
- No, I’m not going to buy a sportscar or a supermodel.
