On October 26th, 2003, I published a whopping\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/hotw\/old_blog\/2003\/10\/26\/\">20 blog entries<\/a>. Why do I blog less often now? My life certainly hasn&#8217;t gotten any more boring than it was when I spent most of my time sitting in a dorm room watching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homestarrunner.com\/\">Strong Bad cartoons<\/a> and missing home. Now I do much more exciting things, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/wyszdom\/2008\/04\/spoiled\/\">read movie plots on Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I often feel like I have writer&#8217;s block, but I can think of a few reasons why I don&#8217;t have as much to say on my blog. First of all, I have more places to share things now. I use Twitter for <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/wysz\">quick updates<\/a>, and I use Google Reader to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/reader\/shared\/user\/18209262016040228319\/state\/com.google\/broadcast\">share links<\/a>. Go ahead and follow\/subscribe to those if you want more constant updates from me. I&#8217;d also like to think that I&#8217;ve become more picky about the quality of my blog entries. This should mean a better quality experience for you, my readers.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like it was five years ago that I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/hotw\/old_blog\/C737058531\/E244944859\/\">first tried a video chat<\/a>. I&#8217;ve been using it so long now (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/wyszdom\/2008\/03\/another-reason-to-love-ichat\/\">to talk with my family<\/a>) that I forgot how novel the concept used to be.  On this day in 2004, I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/hotw\/iblog\/archives\/2004\/10\/26\/\">blogged four times<\/a>, all about Wesley Willis. I hear <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mikeleotta.com\/\">Mike<\/a> is a fan. In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/hotw\/iblog\/archives\/2005\/10\/26\/\">2005<\/a>, I blogged about my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/hotw\/iblog\/C47259402\/E20051027011903\/\">dreams<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/hotw\/iblog\/C47259402\/E20051026090416\/\">science<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewysz.com\/hotw\/iblog\/C712427414\/E20051026073419\/\">zombies<\/a>. I wish I could remember what the dream was; I guess it was too personal to blog. Maybe I need a diary.
