To blog or not to blog

Every time I see the "Hacer" title I feel compelled to do something, whatever, to fill it in. Very Gestaltic. Anyway, my question is, do you blog? Don't you think blogging takes away a lot of the time you could be using more productively in other things? Do you ever worry about who will read your blog? Does a blog no one reads exists? I remember once reading that example for personal websites. If no one reads your blog, does your ego will take it badly? ;) In my usual slow way of reacting, I've been thinking about the utility of having a blog when I can just pester people around with my comments on their blogs or on boards.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
