Blogging on the margin

I find it interesting to note the types of blog posts that I feel like writing as I get more and more and more interested in work. There have been times when I have had very little to do at work (that I was interested in) and blogging (or prior to my blog, simply the type of writing which now ends up as a blog entry) seemed very important. Blogging seemed like something I should be making time for. Something I should be putting aside time for regardless of any other goals I might have.

Now I've found something more interesting to do (eg. fix up a project at work and learn how to effectively fix up future projects) I'm blogging on the margin. Blogging actually interfers with the other things I want to get done so I need to make a choice. While I used to write (or a least draft) a blog entry when what I really wanted to do was talk to somebody, I don't have time for that now.

It makes me think that the best blog writing probably comes from having something to say. More importantly, the best blogging is actually a commentary on a life outside blogging.
