Yeah, uh, about that…

2 weeks. That’s how long it’s been since I last posted. Yeah, uh, about that…

So posting on a blog, I think, comes in waves. You go through a couple of weeks where you’re super-crazy about posting and can barely constrain yourself from posting only one article per day. Then there are the times when you just don’t feel like posting, you’re just not that excited about it. Maybe you just need to recharge.

In regard to the wave analogy, maybe it’s like a sine and cosine wave. (Can you tell I’m learning about this at school?) So, the equation of my posting habits would look something like a cosine wave (starting with lots of posting.) I would probably look something like y=4cos(pi/2)x+3, with the x-axis representing the number of posts I would make per week. Sometimes it goes as high as 7 (4 is the max of the wave, plus a vertical shift of 3) or as low as -1, meaning I don’t post for at all for a week. Or maybe it’s for two weeks. I don’t know. And then the pi/2 means that this wave happens every four weeks.

The point is somehow it’s mathematical and I’m smart and I just did my math homework and I feel like I’m ready to start posting again. Maybe. Don’t hold your breath. I mean, this post doesn’t even count, it’s just me saying that I want to post more and making a “mathematical” equation out of it.

Hmmm… someone should figure out how many posts on personal blogs talk about that fact that the blog in question isn’t being updated very often. I think it would be interestingly high. But I will post again. Probably this weekend. Maybe tomorrow. Hopefully on Monday. Definitely on/after election day. Speaking of which, can you believe we’re only 3 days away? Wow.

What to Blog About?

I’ve written previously about why I blog, even though I have such a tiny audience. In that post, I estimated that I had less than 10 regular/casual readers. And then five people commented on the post, saying how much they liked my blog and wanted me to keep doing it! But, the way I see it, all of these people come to my blog for different reasons.

My family comes here to know what’s going on with me, but others may read because they like a specific topic that I write about - whether it be movies, music, links, or technology. And then I got to wonder, who likes what, and why? Should I write more about my life (what I’m doing this summer, pictures from trips, etc.), the newest iPhone, The Dark Knight, or my latest movie?

I don’t plan to completely change the focus of the blog, and I can guess pretty well who likes what. But I think it would be interesting for people to say what they like for me to write about the most and why. Again, I’m not going to do anything drastic - I’m just interested. I think that I’m still naturally going to write about whatever I feel like just because it is, after all, my blog.

Tell me in the comments.

Is anybody still here? Hellooo???

Hey! It’s me, Austen! Remember me! Yeah… I know it’s been a while but I’m back now. You’re probably wondering, where have I been? The reason that I haven’t posted in 3 weeks is pretty much the same reason all the other times I’ve taken blogging hiatuses - School. But I had my last final yesterday and now I’m back.

Let’s take a look at what has happened since my last post:

  • Barack Obama finally won the Democratic Primary! Like for real. Like… Hillary actually admitted that he won. So she’s gone….. we think.
  • School.
  • Is.
  • Over.
  • Firefox 3 was finally released!
  • The new 3G iPhone was released - 2 times faster, half the price.

And… that’s all the content that I can think of for now. I’ll have a new post tomorrow. Probably. Hopefully. Most likely. I think.
