The other reason I took a break is that I was trying to decide whether this blog was even a good idea.  Is it a waste of time?  Is it just one more surge of data amongst all the others, merely cluttering my server space?  Yes, there are a lot of people who care about cool tech and how it relates to art and politics, but who cares what I have to say about it?  And then there are my fellow writers, many of whom do not have blogs because either they consider it a waste of their writing time or they believe that literary writers don’t blog.

So — is this blog a waste of time?  Not to me, so it’s back and I will be updating it regularly from now on.
