I'm not going to stop blogging.

A small sample of the small handful of people who follow this blog have made comment to me on my lack of blogging.

It is simply a part of what has been a remarkably busy time, and is no way an indication of my future blogging habits. I strongly believe in blogging and will keep doing it until I die.

Yes, I have been e-mailing more, Facebooking too much and even twittering for the department. I want to create more videos and I just spent some time talking with students regarding building conversations for the department. But, blogging is my personal communications investment: a savings account.

Much of the time invested into the Web these days is about helping "the machine learn." Which is great, and I'm all for it. However, I'm still "in this for me." Flickring and the blog are where I put my stories and memories for myself and my loved ones for now and decades to come. So, while 50% of my fortune cookie fortunes from the cookie of plenty encourage me towards the new ... I still love this blog for emptying my brain and can't wait to read it for years to come.
