Today we will talk about an interesting selection effect that relates to blogging. When I'm at my most productive, and busiest, I often have many ideas for entertaining and timely entries. But at the same time I'm really busy and have just enough self-control to keep from doing this. I suppose this hasn't really been a factor until my computer at home stopped working. Because before then I could easily make a quick entry before bed. Now the only access I have to a computer in the sma eplace where I work, and I'm less likely to take time out for a blog there.
Incidentally, the amount of time I spend reading other people's blogs and commenting on them increasing when I'm at my busiest. This is because I'm looking for a quick distraction, and not necessarily in a creative mood. Maybe I'll have something more interesting to say soon.
