As you have noticed, not much has been posted to my personal blog of late. I haven’t stoppped blogging, of course. Far from it: Ogle Earth is a hive of activity, and I want to see where that leads to. The project is on the cusp of paying its way, timewise, and so that holy grail of lifestyles — me, my laptop and a big wide world to explore while working from wherever there is bandwidth — is suddenly something that may just be graspable, if trends continue and plans bear out and nothing goes awry…
But perhaps, too, stefangeens.com needed to decompress. The posts here had become articles, each new one trying somehow to outdo its predecessors. This blog’s content has always been the result of my fascinations and obsessions, and while writing it is an enjoyable process, it is also a time-consuming hobby that sometimes needs to take a backseat when there’s work to do.
So think of Ogle Earth as a way of securing stefangeens.com’s future. A writing hiatus now on stefangeens.com will allow a more sustainable creative writing regime sometime in the future. Keep me in your newsreader. This blog may get underway again at any time.
Well duh. If each post on SG has to outdo the last, obvs posting will cease sooner rather than later. Maybe when you return you will let your standards down a little, which seems to me to be part of the essence of blogging. But I’m also worried: if OE is the key to SG’s resuscitation, then what happens if OE doesn’t work out?
I’ll get a cat and post pictures of it. Daily.
I’ve been watching your fascination for the other woman blog with mixed emotions; Google Earth might be cool software – it is, I think so too ! – but your running cosmopolitan/liberal/scitech commentary here is missed; by me and others.
…but I barely understand a single word of what you write on Ogle Me First. While I’m sure it’s very clever, and it’s clearly remunerative, I think I prefer the incomprehensible maths tutorials.
