Well, the pressures of a daily deadline, plus lingering exhaustion and aversion from writing a 50,006-word novel draft in November… and on top of that meeting a woman, falling in love and pretty much full-time cohabitating have played hell with my blogging schedule.

I’m planning on resurrecting this here blog so I can write more about subjects I have a genuine interest in, for two reasons: first, the not-making-jack-a-dull-boy angle, and secondly, the hopes that I can build up a portfolio so I can get paid to write about what I’m interested in. To that end, I’m crash studying atmospheric science and basic hydrodynamics so I can understand and write about climate issues. I’m doing dharma talks with my meditation group, and also beginning to think about societal theories I’ve been gestating over a long, politico-geek existence. So expect this hodge-podge of ideas and notes to get even hodgier and podgier in the coming weeks and months.

It should be interesting. At least to me.
