"Update: Still Alive"

No, my silence does not mean I’ve died in a blogging accident. And let me repeat what I said before: I want to be the first ever to have died in a napping accident. And even though I am not only alive but also, now according to not one but two respectable doctors, much healthier than I feel, Google reports that I am the only person on the Web ever to have used the exact phrase “died in a napping accident”. Not only that, I am apparently the only person on the Web to have ever used the exact phrase “much healthier than I feel”. Apparently, this is the legacy I am leaving behind to the world. Which is enough right there to motivate me to resume blogging and blog ’til I drop. Which, according to the New York Times, a newspaper that occasionally gets the facts right, is a genuine possibility, based on the cases of two professional bloggers who dropped dead of heart attacks (not accidents), one aged 50 and the other 60. The Times story included a quote from TechCruncher Michael Arrington: “I haven’t died yet.” I know you’re as disappointed as I am. He added: “At some point, I’ll have a nervous breakdown and be admitted to hospital, or something else will happen. This is not sustainable.” Obviously, blogging like Michael Arrington is not sustainable. He and those like him are the SUVs of Blogging, dumping tons of pollution into the Blogosphere. (I said it again. Blogosphere.) And this time the term is appropriate for its similarity to ‘atmosphere’ or even ‘ecosphere’, but blogging does not produce a Carbon Footprint per se, more of a Bullsh*t Footprint. But that’s obvious. Have you ever smelled InstaPundit? I’m working on a bunch of stuff to make the WW.C better (Did ya notice the new navbar up top pointing to my other sites? OMIGOD! I HAVE OTHER SITES?), although it may wreak havok with some things in the interim. Late Friday night, I accidentally changed all the font-sizes here to 2 or 3 pt… and was considering keeping it that way for a little while. Yes, I have promised exciting new stuff before, so I’m not promising anything this time, just hinting at it. But first I have to take a nap. Outside, but I need some shade. I know, I’ll jack up my car and nap underneath it. What could possibly go wrong?
