…because I sure haven't been posting here. Wow, I can't believe it's been 45 days! My last post was soon after I got home from Defrag. It's a long story. First, I got sick right after I did that last post, coughing and hacking and generally feeling lousy, which went on for — I kid you not — four weeks! Never had anything like that. I think it was something I picked up on the plane. Then, to top it off, I was really busy with new client work during this time … for BusinessCard2, VISI.com's ReliaCloud, three Skyya Communications clients, and others yet to be named — so, I was basically hunkered down at home, trying like mad to keep things moving forward. (We self-employed don't get no stinking sick days!)
Anyway, I just noticed that, although I didn't post here on my Typepad blog in those 45 days, I did post, count' em, 19 times on my Posterous blog! … pictured here in all its (semi)glorious splendor.
I remember doing a post about a year ago here explaining that I'd been gone so long because I was micro-blogging (Twittering). You see, for us long-time bloggers, there's these huge guilt feelings we get for not blogging more often on our main blog. So that was my excuse last year. This year, it's Posterous that's to blame. For me, it's a site I subtitle "somewhere in the vast expanse between his micro and macro blogging." So, first it was short-form blogging (Twitter) that was taking me away from my long-form blogging. Now it's, what, "medium-length" blogging? Anyway, I find it pretty easy and non-time-consuming to post to Posterous (which I do fairly effortlessly via email). I actually use it more as a quick social-bookmarking service of sorts, when I find a valuable link — as I used to do with Delicious.
So, now you know I haven't been ignoring my contributions to the cause of online content and knowledge-sharing. I just have too damn many places to do it! And I've hardly backed down on my participation on Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, and LinkedIn, either. Oh, and I wrote two posts and participated in four weekly podcasts on Minnov8, too, with my colleagues there.
So, please keep following me here, there… or how about everywhere? :-)
Thanks, and Happy 2010!
