Writing a killer blog

April 6, 2008 By

Hah, the New York Times says that I’m going to die if I blog. Oh, but I’ll die if I drink water. Or breathe. See, one rule of this game is everyone dies.

The article didn’t present any balance. Truth is, blogging has brought so many really great people and experiences into my life that it’s worth the sacrifices I’ve made.

That said, I’m glad I didn’t force myself to blog from Amsterdam. What did I do instead? Cleaned out my email. Almost got back onto the David Allen plan.

    Hi Robert,

    The theme of the article was balance – which is a good topic anyways.

    However, the generalization across the blogopshere was a stretch. My take on the article is here:

    http://blog.lifebeyondcode.com/2008/04/06/nytimes-story-on-blogging-blog-till-you-drop-my-take/

    My $.02 of course.

    Best,
    Raj

    all work kills us, its just how the system works, blogging dosent differ from dying as a cubicle monkey, in a car accident, in a war, etc…studies show people before organized agriculture, industrialization, and nation states lived longer and happier…the new York times is just trying to shut down the greatest threat to its company and that is blogs, bloggers and blogging…don’t let some sleazy corporation stop the revolution!
