1. I don’t have anything to say. As the words to psycho killer go:
You’re talkin’ a lot, but you’re not sayin’ anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?
Psycho Killer,
Qu’est-ce que c’est? (fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa faaaa fa fa fa).
If I can’t add anything of interest or note, I don’t add anything at all.
2. A conversation requires people talking and listening. I like to listen (at least online 
). I spend a lot of time reading other people’s stuff, to try to find my position. Until I know what that is, I am not going to fake it by sounding more certain than I am, as I am no fan of rocketbooming just to sound guru-ish.
3. I require a lot of inspiration. Sometimes the muse wants me to be a blogger, at other times she wants me to be a thinker, at other times a lazy bum. Or so it seems, anyway.
4. I am addicted to brain crack. I know, it’s bad, but we all have our addictions.
5. I stupidly chose a niche that requires a lot of thought, creativity and work (do you know how long it takes to draw find a picture of a Trapezoidal Linking Matriflux? No? Let e tell you, it is several minutes. SEVERAL). Couple that with very, very little reward (except personal which never really floated my boat much) and you have the world’s least active regualrish blog.
6. (Bonus reason) The weather is good ATM. The second winter hits, I bet the number of posts here triples. That would make an interesting study actually, the blog to temperature ratio. I bet warm, tropical paradises have rather low incidents of blogging.
I would tag someone else, but everyone else I know has already been tagged.

This mysterious document was discovered online recently, but it quickly vanished. We’re not sure where it came from and we don’t know who wrote it, but we felt that it merited some attention. When it was initially found, the last passage was at the beginning, but we felt it would be easier to follow if we published it in chronological order.
This is so exciting. I’m all a-twitter. Har har.

The Bruce Clay Blog’s blogger, The Lisa, has hit upon the perfect formula for a successful blog:
Okay. The secret to successful SEO blogging is hiring a cute girl to do your bidding. To attract an audience you need a young, snarky female, preferably dark-haired (time to conform, Rhea!), to amuse and bewilder the masses. Let them cover the industry, injecting the news with a healthy dose of sarcasm, and the predominantly male industry will Eat. It. Up. In return, you’ll get instant street cred, soften up that I’m-all-about-work persona, and you’ll be put on the V.I.P. list for all the hip Google parties.
It’s genius, right?
Yer damn skippy, it’s genius.
The problem is, I think Scottie or Torka would slap me silly if I suggested either of them take on this role, so (gulp) I’m going to do it myself. Henceforth, I am your new sexy-but-approachable, smart-n-sarcastic, sassy-slash-savvy web babe. A “webabe,” if you will. If Mike ever gets off that tiny continent of his, he can join in the fun too.
At the next Google party, I’ll be the one in the go-go cage shimmying up a storm in my frilly fringe miniskirt.
Just one thing, though: I’m not shaving the beard. Deal. With. It.
