According to a relatively recent New York Times article, only 7.4 million of the 133 million blogs tracked by the blog search engine Technorati have been updated in the last 120 days.

The scores of people who read this blog no doubt noticed that I’ve now gone well over two whole weeks without a post. Truly a tragedy. Now that the semester is (almost) over, I won’t let it happen again (I’m going to shoot for a post every other day, so stay alert google).

Yesterday it was brought to my attention that a fellow contributor to the Providence Daily Dose decided to post a passive-aggressive e-mail she received after mentioning passiveaggressivenotes.com (a blog I help run).
