Steve of Begging to Differ thinks it’s hard to be enthusiastic about posting to one’s own blog when most of the hits are for people looking for “Gay Batman”.
I certainly know the feeling; the quantity and quality of SN has gone down over the years, and—ultimately—that really doesn’t bother me that much. I’ve never seen a check from Google Ads, BlogAds ignores me, and that Pajamas/Open Source/Pajamas outfit is just sort of “out there” in the zone I frankly don’t care about. And I am simply content to stop worrying and go about my daily business, posting just enough nonsense to stop panicked phone calls worrying that I’m maimed or deceased, in a way that perhaps I wouldn’t have a couple of years ago.

Sounds like you would post an insightful piece about one’s changing priorities as one grows older…....
….if your priorities hadn’t changed…

I don’t know how anyone with a normal job have time to blog. Back when I worked part time, I had time to read 20 blogs a day and post 20 times a week. When I worked full-time in a position where I had time to sit around, I had time for 5 posts a week. Now I barely have time to stop and eat at work and by the time I’m home I’m too tired to spent more mental energy to spit out whatever thoughts I had that’s probably been posted elsewhere 6 hours ago by someone who doesn’t work a 9–5 job. And really, there’s nothing to post about that isn’t halfway depressing.
I’m with you guys. My blog posting has slowed to a trickle, and that’s OK. There’s a lot going on, and some time will open up eventually (he said hopefully). I’m glad that interesting people like Chris and Hei Lun keep posting, even at a slower rate.
