Another day and another post or two to write after reading gawd knows how many feeds or how many refreshed pages on FriendFeed and yet there is nothing interesting at all to write about. Maybe it’s just because its the weekend and there’s absolutely nothing of interest. Or maybe it’s because the weekend bitchmeme appears to be missing in action and people don’t know what to do with themselves.
Or maybe because after ten years or so blogging as we read it day after day is becoming stale and boring. After all you could close your eyes on any given day of the week and pretty well guess with about 90% accuracy what everyone will be talking about. It would go something like this:
- Twitter is down
- Twitter is up
- The A-List is dead
- The A-List isn’t dead
- Techmeme is rigged
- The iPhone rocks
- Microsoft sucks
- Loren is a racist
- Loren is misunderstood
- Microsoft is buying Yahoo
- Microsoft isn’t buying Yahoo
- You are an idiot if you suggest the newest Web 2.0 darling isn’t so hot after all
- Google is the best company in the world
Maybe it’s just that I’m a year older today and everything seems to be the same as it was yesterday – nothing new – nothing interesting. Maybe it’s because there are interesting things that I would like to experiment with in the blogging world but that digital divide which everyone doesn’t want to admit exists is just showing how real it is.
The fact is that today blogging about technology is as boring as hell.
Maybe it’ll be less boring tomorrow … who knows.

go to asia, make a comic book, start painting, whatever .... and blog about it! you are a writer first, the tech is just something to hang your hat on.
read some kevin kelly, develop some context, figure out the relationship between yoga and technology, sheesh, there is a ton of stuff to do, think, explore, and you dont have to stop writing..
maturing means letting go of one self-concept, identity, and taking on another .. go for it

Sometimes, I think you and your readers like you more than you like yourself. I don't want to read any more about how much older you're feeling or how frustrated you're getting and all that dark stuff. You're a good guy, and if you're surrounding yourself with things that aren't making you happy, make a change. It's one thing to be a critic and another to be analytical, but you can drive yourself into a ditch where it's not very friendly.

Instead of saying "tech blogs are dead" maybe it's more "the tech bloggers I follow suck at blogging."
