“ Ignore the pessimists who say journalism is dead. It’s never been more alive. Journalists are storytellers. Throughout history, people who have wanted to tell stories only had one option: work for someone else. He gets the profit; you get a paycheck. Now, for the first time in history — thanks to the internet — we can take the reins. We’re not forced to climb the corporate ladder. We can build rungs underneath.”

I’m going to apologize for my absence from this blog by declaring my continued absence from this blog until things settle down, and sharing some links.
First of all, the above article mirrors my experience in Poland so well I literally could not have written it better. Enjoy, then get pissed off.
Second, some friends and I started an ambient record label, which partly explains my absence. Enjoy: Preserved Sound.
Finally, after over a month of stuffing my face with tacos and beer in Texas and averaging maybe one run a week, I’m starting a serious strength training routine, partly because I have a Kung Fu exam at the end of the month, and partly because I’m inspired by this.

I would love to see a blogging service with a minimum word count and posting limit. For example, you cannot post less than 1,800 characters, and you cannot post more than once a week.
Any tech-savvy volunteers?
