My Blog's Pound of Flesh

Just for the record (and since everybody's doing it), my blog owns 18.25 percent of me. I expected it would be much worse. I can't imagine how PZ could have gotten 6.25 percent, given that he posts much more frequently than I do. He must be super efficient....

Hi, I'm Alice. It's been 11 days since I last blogged. Things have been busy over the last couple of weeks - even more than usual. I started listing out the stuff I've been doing, but rather than making me feel like I had gotten a lot done, it was just making me tired, so I deleted it. Instead, I…
Janet D. Stemwedel: Hey, can we talk about pseudonymous blogging? Dr. Free-Ride: Haven't you already written a bunch of posts about that? Janet D. Stemwedel: Yeah, but the blogosphere seems to be discussing it again. Dr. Free-Ride: You know I only work on Fridays, right? Janet D. Stemwedel: Get…
This comment thread has gotten long enough to start causing some server load problems. As a result, I'm closing the comments here, and I've added a new post where discussions of this past can continue. If you're not interested in completely off-topic personal rambling, stop reading now. This is…
I've been having an amusing exchange with John Lofton, the theocrat who owns The American View. You'll recall that he left a comment at Positive Liberty with his phone number and asked me to call him. I politely said no, but that he is welcome to leave a comment objecting to anything I've said that…

I don't really have blog in sense you do, however, I have discussion page on website. I took survey and it came out with "blog" or I suppose "website" owning about 18.25% of me. I have been reading your book since about 4:00 pm this afternoon (MST) and like the review said, I'm not feeling better, but you've given me information which I can use. Thanks, Chris, for your work.

The curious thing is that I find the more active I am in real life, the easier it is to blog. If I spend a few hours on The Machine doing nothing but bloggery, I dry up and don't want to do it any more. Spend a few hours reading papers or working with students or whatever, though, and then when I sit down, boom, it just erupts out of me.

I got 6.25 and only answered one question "yes" (own domain name.) I only blog about once a month though.

Note that all the questions are about attitude / what else you do with your life, not really time. If you just blog because it's your (unpaid) job or just on one interest you could come out quite low, however many hours you spend.
