I am having a hard time writing about my life right now. I have noticed a sharp decline in readers also according to the stats. I have several reasons for backing off on my writing. 1) I am interviewing. I cannot imagine a net savvy company not seeking out a prospective employee’s blog. 2) I am facing some large challenges. I want desperately to write about them but that may have to wait a while and be presented in a retrospective. 3) My time has been sucked away from me to deal with 1 and 2.

Amanda, re-boomed
I was an Amanda Congdon fan since Sept 27, 2005 (See?). Upon her departure, Rocketboom lost its appeal and I switch ed to watching Ze Frank’s The Show. It appears that Amanda is returning to video blogging! The twist is that she’s gone mainstream media and is on ABC’s online news channel with a 5 minute format.
Congdon, 25, will regularly appear on ABC’s online news channel, ABC News Now, and will host a weekly five-minute video blog appearing on ABC.com. Congdon, who will primarily provide news analysis and commentary through the network’s online channels, says she also expects to occasionally pop up on Good Morning America, Nightline, and other ABC news television programs.

She’s working to develop a show for HBO’s on-air and on-demand channels.

This should be an interesting development in the video blogging world. I need iMovie!
Walkin on water – this I gotta try!
I think the scouts would have a blast with this but it is probably more appropriate for a frat party.
Thanks goes to Make for pointing out this great video on non-newtonian fluid.

I Didn’t Get The Gay Marriage Ban Until Now
I voted against the constitutional amendment to declare marriage between a man and a woman. Now that I have read the Top 10 Reasons Gay Marriage Should Be Illegal I understand so much better.
09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children. [Source]
Update: Critz and my wife both agree that I was a might unclear in this post. I realize that posting only one of the 10 reasons doesn’t convey the author’s sarcasm as well. Here are a couple more (number two is my favorite):
01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
…
05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
…
07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

I suspect this is a memorial put in place before the lock and bridge was built.
