    Thursday, May 15


    Today is a bit of clearing house of responsibility, as I finish a volunteer role I've done with Allie for three years, which makes it a good time to reflect, take stock and most importantly, take a break.

    I anticipate a great summer, one filled with more patios than doorknocking, more camping than meetings (given my day job that might be a stretch), more BBQ than rubber chicken.

    It also presents a good time to take stock of my Web 2.0 life (I'm sure there is a better term for it). This blog is the birthplace of that life, before my Facebook profile, before my Twittering, before RSS, before internet forums (at least for me), came Phendrana Drifts. In that time, this blog has evolved and de-evolved, and mostly now serves as a stand-by platform for my personal politics. The problem with that is working close enough to government I already get my share of politics and the inane chatter I used to post on my blog is more easily adapted within the world of Facebook and Twitter.

    I've also noticed that it is true with many of my contemporaries and friends, people who reached out to blogs before they were big who now let their blogs lie fallow.

    So, I bid good night to both my volunteer role (with incredible pride and just a little amazement) and my blog - not good bye, just see you in a bit.

      I hear what you're saying about the up and down engagement with blogs. And I think it's natural for blogs to evolve, and to go through periods of activity/inactivity.

      If you're finding the political "chatter" you usually post more suited to other venues, have you considered a more informative or educational approach to the blog? You know, fill some of us non-political types in on the history, background etc. of some of the stories we read in the paper. I know you'd have one reader at least who'd be interested!
