My weblog has gone through a lot of transformations in the last three years. I've tried different formats and writing styles. Whenever I've tried to "write" though -- as if I were writing for a publication -- the blog has been an incredible distraction. Now I think of it as writing for e-mail, unpolished and not always fully considered. On ICANN, I've always used the blog to reflect what I'm thinking and doing. If you've followed the blog recently, you'll see that I've been reading about ICANN but not thinking about it very much. Right now it's pretty much a pass through of links to articles. I'm sure I'll come around to thinking (and writing) again. Just not now. I also have a cynical view of Gibson's blog. His blog appeared shortly before his last book was published, was widely noted and linked when he was on the press tour, and then disappears when the press push ends.
