Once again, I have let this blog slip into months of neglect. If I can discern any recurring patterns, I'll have a flurry of posts in the next couple of weeks and go dark again soon after that. But several things have converged in the past couple of weeks that has inspired me to dust off the blog again. Several friends have independently encouraged me to start blogging again. I stopped blogging because I felt a bit inundated with too much digital information. But awhile back there were a bunch of posts on the "death of the blog," which convinced me even more that blogs should and can play an important function. I remember the exhilaration of finding bloggers like Andrew Sullivan in the early days when blogs were gaining traction, and I still find myself enjoying the personal/professional bloggers, who are able to mix and match their personal and professional lives, like the blogs of Ezra Klein, Tenured Radical, Juan Cole, and the New Yorker Newsdesk. I stopped writing for awhile because I couldn't find a niche to blog about. But I've decided to embrace that inability to focus, and here returns an attempt at random ramblings on a bunch of disconnected topics.
In the meantime, enjoy a photo from Cambodia, in Angkor Wat.
