(11:47 AM) | Adam Kotsko:
Seasons of Blog
The Tarantular Chief Jason recently mourned my lowered participation in his blog comments:Aye me.It's great to know that I'm not the only person who is passive aggressive. But Cap'n Pete remarks in comments:
Woe is me.
I remember the days--many many moons ago--when Adam Kotsko actually visited and commented on my blog. He made me feel so . . . so . . . special that he would bless my URL with his presence.
Ah but gone, gone are those days of innocence. Gone, gone are those days of Kotskoian bliss.
We'll all have new breath in the spring. It's a blog season thing I swear. The same thing happened last year.I think that's basically accurate, although strange. I have noticed that The Weblog's traffic has been picking up as the weather breaks, and ye olde University Without Condition really flourished during the spring and tapered off as the summer set in.
Does good weather -- perhaps perversely -- make us want to blog more? Or does it just make us generally more social, more eager to reach out to other people, and blogging is one of the main ways that we do that?
