I was SO not blogging this week

...I always wanted to use that phrase in context. Seems to be really popular these days.

This past week marked the first real break I've taken from full-time blogging in two years. I just wasn't visited by the Muse too much, and didn't make my normal oddball observations. I did stumble across a big story, which not surprisingly, given the nature of the subject matter has evidently has become the talk of the town lately. So while I didn't do any blogosphere activity, which is mostly reactions to goings-on in the tech sector, I did have a few assignments to journalistically hump on. A nice change, albeit brief.

Around the holidays I had e-mailed Richard MacManus about being considered to become part of the Web 2.0 Workgroup, and after a brief review period I was passed up. I wasn't phased, but it did take the wind out of my sails creatively for a few days. I've also been wrapping my brain heavily around Ruby on Rails and Django.

I'm back in the saddle now.
