I think I’m in need of a long vacation, which isn’t forthcoming. My obsession with the election and general boredom with most technology news of late has diminished my posting. I’ve got more pitches than ever coming at me and they’re less and less interesting.
Part of that is because they fail to acknowledge the economic situation; and all the bloated claims that typically attend these missives are rendered more hollow against the backdrop of the recession. The ability to embed 3D landscapes in your blog or site is just not as interesting or relevant when survival issues come to the fore.
Maybe coffee will help my attitude 🙂

Couldn’t agree more. So much of the recent tech news/announcements are complete yawns.
I can’t wait for the election to be over as I won’t be so distracted by those damn interactive electoral college maps where you can change states from red to blue.

No, Greg, if coffee helps you’re not quite there yet. Most stuff isn’t worth thinking, saying, using, buying, getting happy or upset about.

when you get really bored, you are welcome to interview me (and blog about) whether or not i regret trading in my old, highly durable, plastic macbook w/ firewire for my new, less durable, aluminum macbook w/o firewire …. then you will know you have hit bottom and truly need a vacation.

I think I will need a vacation after the election is over myself. The ads are killing me.
