Where's Waldo?

Christian Crumlish

A combination of burnout and offline deadlines has severely hampered my ability to post interesting links here, let alone cogent ideas or analysis.

I don't think this situation will last too long (although I am heading to southern California for a wedding on Friday and won't be back in action till Tuesday, so this site will go dark during that period, for the first time since we launched).

But there is a natural ebb and flow to blogging, so acknowledging burnout and overload is probably a good thing. Yesterday my body went on strike and demanded that I sleep most of the afternoon just to get caught up on the fatigue cycle. I took this as a sign to stay away from the computer except when absolutely unavoidable.

Ironically, I just started a new, private intranet-ish k-log project blog sorta blog for tracking the still secret project. So the blogging goes on as a knowledge capture and project management tool even when I'm not reporting on the metablog scene here in RFB.

In the meantime, I direct you to the fine links in my various blogrolls hither. Most of the time I find out about intereresting developments from them. Blogging News has been doing an especially good job lately of covering the biggest stories and most quotable quotations in the blogosphere.

Inline trackbacks better than pop-ups: Responding to Andrew "I hate blogs and obsess about little else" Orlowski's latest screed at the Register, which blamed Six Apart for ruining Google by inventing Trackback, Mena writes in Six Log that it's a better practice to include trackbacks (and comments) on the same page as the weblog entry they...
