added a new link to my masthead/sidebar area today. It's called Today's Referrers and its an ordinary link to the page showing RFB's referrer stats for the day. A few referrers show up almost every day, sometimes with just one link. I often assume that that one link is the writer of the other blog. I love this intimacy about the web. My computer books have sold to tens and hundreds of thousands of readers all over the world, but the ones who write back make the whole thing worthwhile. I liked that about Enterzone, the cozy community of readers available, willing to be organized on the web. Readers are great but readers who write are the best.

Come into the game if you're not playing now. Make it harder for me to make a living as a writer by competing with me for attention. This will only toughen me up. I'm prone to slack off without that nervous mammal prey feeling. Find out what you have to say, when given the microphone. Learn how you would write if you took the time to practice writing simple declarative sentences (file under do as I say and not do as I do). You have a voice. Use it.

A combination of burnout and offline deadlines has severely hampered my ability to post interesting links here, let alone cogent ideas or analysis.

I don't think this situation will last too long (although I am heading to southern California for a wedding on Friday and won't be back in action till Tuesday, so this site will go dark during that period, for the first time since we launched).

But there is a natural ebb and flow to blogging, so acknowledging burnout and overload is probably a good thing. Yesterday my body went on strike and demanded that I sleep most of the afternoon just to get caught up on the fatigue cycle. I took this as a sign to stay away from the computer except when absolutely unavoidable.

Ironically, I just started a new, private intranet-ish k-log project blog sorta blog for tracking the still secret project. So the blogging goes on as a knowledge capture and project management tool even when I'm not reporting on the metablog scene here in RFB.

In the meantime, I direct you to the fine links in my various blogrolls hither. Most of the time I find out about intereresting developments from them. Blogging News has been doing an especially good job lately of covering the biggest stories and most quotable quotations in the blogosphere.
