Expiration date
What's the shelf life of a blog? Sometimes it's just a year or two. I'll miss both of these guys. I can understand the burnout though. Nosuch is creeping slowly towards its one year anniversary, which in Internet time is ancient. If I understood the amount of work involved in doing a weblog, I probably would have bagged off. Setting a personal goal of an update every weekday as opposed to just writing when the urge hits makes this a commitment, and not a recreation.

It also helps that I've gotten a little positive re-inforcement. In any case, in spite of ups and downs, I don't plan on walking away from Nosuch any time soon. I mean, how can I? After all, I just got the official shirt.
