Blog returns in 2011

…I hope?

I miss writing here. I wonder if any of my old subscribers will notice this update, or if my entire readership has dwindled to those people searching Google for the meaning of the expression “it’s the thought that counts.” In any case, I’m going to try to bring this blog back in the new year, and spend some time between now and then stocking up the queue.

I think it’ll be easier to keep blogging consistently if I have a clearer framework to start from. So, in the future, I plan to post critical examinations of particular ideas and concepts we encounter in our daily lives — whether in politics, advertising, pop culture, science, or any other aspect of the Zeitgeist in general. (That’s critical examinations in the sense of applying critical thinking, not implying that I’ll necessarily be criticizing or debunking every idea I discuss.) I’m sure that, occasionally, I’ll write a post that’s just about some recent event or other news item, but I think this framework is true to our original vision of what this blog would be for and will prompt me to write more often.

I’m going to aim for three posts a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), beginning in January. See you then!
