But what a schedule. Everyone seems to want everything before Christmas. I was working until 2230 last night on “web stuff” for clients, and today’s going to be full of it too. I’m going to be so sick of the computers by the end of it… Tags: blogging, personal [...] [...] I didn’t even last a week of daily posts! But what a schedule.

I think some of it’s actually the spambots trying to post comments (and failing). And yes, sex _is_ interesting! <strong>’Pong</strong>, perhaps I should do a daily post about one news item that’s attracted my attention that day? That could perhaps be a separate thread of postings. And that might fit well with my long-standing “plan” to do a podcast...

Don't worry about it too much; human sexuality is genuinely interesting, and not just for prurient reasons. It's not like this is 'hotnakedaction.com'. All in all, I don't think you need to change your current formula. The balance between personal anecdotes and discussion of weightier issues is about right. It's good to read a real person's take on life, rather than the tedious results of groupthink. I believe blogs - once considered tedious vanity projects - have evolved to fill a gap in the information ecosystem due to the shortcomings of mainstream media. If you keep this principle in mind, you should do OK. I may be responsible for a modest spike in the ‘sex’ traffic, because I sometimes check back to see if Sam Connell has added any more comments.
