Breaking the Mould of Long Silences Between Blog Posts

It has been a while between this post and the one preceding it. In part, I am looking at ways in which mobile blogging can be practiced. In part, I am trying to overcome the hiatus of the daily bloghing routine I have announced earlier on. In part, it is a matter of getting used to a different, net-oriented hardware setup that feels still alienating to the fingers and hands that hover a little awkwardly over the keyboard only about 80 percent so big as it is regularly. Ergonomic rules and instructions suddenly come to mind. Typing on my lap is certainly the most attractive mode with this present condition of haviong it weighing less and taking up less space. Nevertheless, the point is to burst open the gates of what feels as a writing block of sorts, to touch on the subjects that make rounds in my reflections and to blaze a trail towards a web strategy of sorts, especially since Internet seems to be here to stay despite the rise in information intensity, complexity and diversity it causes. Thinking globally, acting locally, when restricted to the blog page seems to be a leitmotif of my trying to break the mold of seeking for my place in the larger information landscape all the while making my discursive bets.
