Blog rhythm

For anyone keeping score, you may have noticed that my posts here seem to go in spurts.  I have a pretty constant stream of links on my del.icio.us and google reader sidebar, but I only seem to get the energy to post something on my blog every 10-14 days.  And once I start posting, it’s like a floodgate.  It usually ends up in 5-6 posts in 24-36 hours.  While I apologize for the spurtiness, I don’t think there is anything that I can do about it.  It’s a combination of having real work to do (both on the JOB and at home), having the time to think out something that is interesting to say and (to be honest) remembering to blog.
The only thing that really bothers me about all of this is that my vanity search on Google has dropped from the 2nd listing at the beginning of the summer to the 4th.  I guess at least I am still on the front page.
