I actually just queued my 100th blog post for next Monday; with a lot of help from Google Analytics, it provides a numbingly numerical analysis of one year of blogging about the Apple II. Nearly as depressing is the twenty unfinished blog posts I've drafted. Sometimes, I know the subject, just not the spin. Other times -- as likely everyone in this newsgroup can relate -- "real life" gets in the way. But I'm one month away from earning a master's degree in publishing, and having a fun blog like this is an easy way to get me motivated to write -- an energy that I then try to carry over to my more academic pursuits. Otherwise, all my writing would be "required", and I'd probably burn out on the activity altogether! -Ken
