As you can see, my blogging activity slowed considerably as of late. What can I say — life is too much in the way of blogging right now.

But good news is coming. The school semester is closer to the end than it is to the beginning, which will make me three classes closer to my second degree. The Atlanta Performs Podcast tends to stay on the time-consuming side, but it’s getting easier to deal with. And, finally, I’ve started the process of buying a condo in Midtown. For at least the next month, I will have no life.

So, for now, I’m on a blogcation. That’s a vacation from blogging. Most likely, I will return once the semester ends.

In the meantime, some reading for your pleasure:

• Weblog Usability: The Top Ten Blog Design Mistakes
• EFF Cracks Printer Tracking Code: Your printer may be hiding a secret code on your documents
• Commute Calculator: MARTA’s marketing crew gets a little aggressive
• Fauver vs. Brodie: Atl City Council District 6 is hot!

Thanks for reading, commenting and pinging. I’ll be back soon enough.

It’s good for readers to know my bias, though a simple graph like this won’t really provide anything close to a complete picture. But here is where I stand:

Economic Left/Right: -4.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28

This is considerably further to the lower-left corner of the graph since the last time I took this test a few years ago, which is somewhat depressing in a way. I suspect if a Third Way president ever makes it to office again, my views will moderate again.

So the past few days, I’ve been busy with more school work and work work. With apologies to Ken Edelstein, to whom I commented that I would read through the Belt Line White Paper and give my own comments, I have only read through about half the paper. So far, I’m impressed with some of the observations, and annoyed with some of the other observations. More on that to come, probably on Bloglanta.

In the meantime, my big project at work has started to breathe life. I encourage all of you to check out the Atlanta Performs Podcast.

Tomorrow, is Rosh Hashana. Technically, since it’s now after sundown, the holiday has already started. Just in time for sundown tomorrow, I have a test in my Economic Development class. So, I say, Gut Yontif to all, and to all a day of sholem.
