Hmmm… yes as Jay says I blog what I feel like, and some people choose to read it. I do think a bit of context is useful.
I’d like to do shorter posts Jay, but I find it hard to stop when there’s so much to say :-) Yes I will try to do that and experiment more.
While I bemoan my lack of blogging time, I do expect to keep up a reasonable pace over the next few months – I’ll do my best anyway!

No, I’ll disagree with The Cynic. Ross’s words clearly are the stuff he wants to blog about. The issue is that there’s stuff left over that’s not making it into the blog.
As to whether you define yourself as a blogger, what’s the appropriate criterion? One fantastic post a month trumps daily squiggles.
I’ve found that the more spontaneous a blog post, the less time it takes to write. Your written pieces are well-reasoned so you undoubtedly put time into thinking them through.
You might try writing more but shorter pieces. One main thought. One paragraph. Short but sweet. My usage logs tell me most people don’t stick around long enough to read eight well-crafted ‘graphs.

That’s a lot of self-indulgent words in place of stuff you bemoan you don’t have time to blog about….
