I’ve been away for a while, it seems. A long while. A few things have changed, but most haven’t. Idiots will be idiots. People who feed off of idiots will always take great amounts of pleasure from feeding off their weaker prey. This is likely how things will be until the day we die.

Here’s a look back at a few things that have happened.

Aaron Swartz took his own life after being handed a ridiculous judgement. No lawyer in the world can protect you when you’re coming up against serious money. He never actually committed any crimes, he only did extraordinary things. The extraordinary things he did earned him a place in the crosshairs of rather rich individuals.

I have business to tend to. Things are coming at me rapidly, and I’m already overburdened with tasks and no time in which to deal with them. Ditching this blog, facebook, and the internet on the whole, is pretty much all I can do to squeeze the little time I have and make it work for me. So that’s what I’ll be doing. Can’t keep it up forever, sometimes life just gets in the way of hobbies. It happens.

Well, kids, it looks like it’s time for a short hiatus. I can’t really keep up the post frequency of “every day” or even “every other day”. It’s going to wind up being once a week at most, if even that. Things are getting too busy. I’m caring less about shitting into the ether. Lots of reasons add up to one good one- This blog is pretty pointless. Not to say it ever had a point to begin with, but at least I wrote what I felt and it felt good to write. Now it mostly boils down to a few douchebags “e-stalking” me and people casually clicking “x” after parsing a few titles. I’ll be honest, it’s really not terribly impressive. I don’t write insane or fascinating viewpoints on current events or share crazy new angles on programming or technology. At best I’ve shat some opinions out there, same as everyone else, and pointed out one or two things I’ve found interesting. Doesn’t really justify the time or energy I’ve put into this thing on the whole.
