No

Two questions I was asked a lot last week: 1. Is your blog dead? 2. Is Visible Monsters a video blog now?

No would be the answer to both.

I’ve been spending an increasing amount of time off-blog, but where as I would usually come back and mention little things like the fact that someone tried to mug me again or the night I got to hang out in a New York City firehouse at midnight I’ve been Twittering or Seesmicing them instead.

Some like the term microblogging, but I prefer to call it lazyblogging - I love both Seesmic and Twitter, but in some ways they make it too easy to just throw something out to the crowd. Once out there it bobs around for a little and then gets dropped in favour of the next shiny sparkly thing. I love other people’s cool new services, but this place is mine and I like filling it with stuff.

I am going to messing with video a lot more this year, but there is also going to be a lot more of that word stuff so don’t throw away your good reading eyes just yet. The blog got all dusty and neglected for a number of reasons, but this isn’t a ’sorry I haven’t been updating post’ as much as it is a ‘back to business as usual’ post.

So let’s get back to business as usual.
