Two years

Two years ago today, I unveiled There Is No Cat. One year ago today, I wrote up a list of what I considered my best posts in that first year. I was originally thinking I didn't write anything worth reading this past year, but looking through the archives, there are a few things that might be worth revisiting.

Ten Year Anniversary, May 16, 2003, marking ten years of being on the web
Finding New Music, May 31, 2003, about the many ways I find new music to listen to
Adventures in the Trademark Zone, June 19, 2003, wherein I whap a greedy businessman upside the head with a clue-by-four
No Sidewalks in Blogistan, July 20, 2003, explaining how blogs are a lousy way to make friends compared to the alternatives
Staggering Across the Finish Line, November 20, 2003, is my post here about my entry in that month's 26 Things project. The writing isn't all that good there, but I'm quite pleased with many of the photographs
One, two, three, four, December 31, 2003, where I count my blessings
¿Quién?, March 3, 2004, where I exercise my high school Spanish.

The good posts got few and far between as the year progressed. I haven't posted as often, and I haven't posted as well. Life tends to get in the way; I got married and bought a house in the past year. I got a new job, same as the old job. We had major construction done on the house. I got a new camera and started shooting a lot of pictures, perhaps focusing on that more than on writing.

Some times I think I'm burning out on the web after eleven years. So if the gaps get wider in the coming months, I'm just recharging my batteries.

hey ralph, i know how that is... i too have concentrated more on photos recently rather than writing. it is hard to find time to do both. i should be very sad, though, if you were to give up blogging altogether... here's hoping you stick around with your words and your pictures :)

Yeah, I hear you about burnout. Don't worry about the rate of your posts. We're getting good value for our money. :-)

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
