Way too much Facebook, and other ways of wasting too much time.

Greetings Earthlings,

It has been awhile since I condescended to type anything for this venue. My apologies. Been spending way too much time on Facebook, virtually farming, running a virtual Mafia clan, being a virtual pirate or sending virtual cutsey hearts to all the 6,337 people who have made the mistake of allowing me to be their "friend" on Facebook.

To it's credit, Facebook allows me to post brief snippets of interesting things I find out on the internet, in much the same way Andrew Sullivan does in his blog. Sullivan is very good running brief focused comments on the news, videos and other information. He also knows how and when to write columns on news stories that evoke his interest.

When I want to write on this blog, I usually want to write long, complicated pieces on topics of interest. That's hard to for me to do. Hard for now, I hope not hard for the rest of the year. One of the purposes of this blog is to get me into the habit of writing everyday.

Having said that, I want to wish the three people who sometimes read this stuff, Happy New Years.
