There was a great article in the San Jose Mercury News yesterday about blogging addiction. I’m happy to say that I am not a member of that set. No, I have found that blogging is primarily a form of procrastination. For example, I really need to be writing a 300 word bio for a book called Vesage that my Legotar will be in. Instead I’m doing this.

So, I have a new strategy. I have stolen a gift that my son gave to my wife for her birthday last year. Shown in the image to the left, it has inscribed on it, “IT’S A 2X4. YOU CAN WHACK DAD WITH IT!” Leaving aside the supposed necessity of this gift, I’m “borrowing” it and putting it on my desk as a gentle reminder that I need to get real work done.
