Auto-Blog
So, I'm thinking about this blog, once active, then neglected, now active again. I'd like to lure you here on a relatively frequent basis, and not disappoint you with stale content when you arrive. There's a good way of doing that, e.g. have a regular schedule and stick with it. There are a few problems with this.
Wet-ware
Although I have plenty of interesting (one might say bizarre) thoughts during the week, I have them at inconvenient times (e.g. not when I'm sitting at a computer, trying to come up with something to write in my blog). If I had some sort of wet-ware installed directly into my brain, you know, with some sort of wireless internet connection, then when inspiration struck I could simply send an email and there that thought would be (perfectly expressed) on my blog.
Come to think of it, that could be potentially embarrassing.

Regularity
The second problem is that I'm not always at my home computer on, say, every Tuesday and Thursday. And, while I am at work (almost) every weekday, I simply don't feel right (conscious-wise) blogging from work. I mean, if my boss (who is very understanding) asked me what I was doing, "Working on my blog" is not a response I want to give (understanding nonwithstanding - don't some words seem odd together?)

Solution?
Well, I'm going to try to compile a list of random blog-worthy thoughts (and, it doesn't take much to be "blog-worthy". Pity the thought that doesn't meet that low threshold), and I'll simply try to force myself to update the blog each time I log on from home (which should be maybe once during the week, and again on the weekend).

Thursdays
So, my recommendation is to check this blog each Thursday. By then, you should at least see one or two updates from the previous weekend, any possibly during the week. Although you may be tempted to check more often, well, I recommend against it. I don't want to disappoint.
