Daily blog posts: yes or no?

I came across this blog post that argues that posting to your blog daily is a thing of the past. Eric Kintz, the author of the post, gives ten good reasons for why he thinks so.

I somewhat agree wit Eric, but I find his post a bit narrow. One of the important things that he leaves out is author’s discipline. Daily posts help authors, especially beginners, to “get into it”.

I would’ve never built my curent blogging skills without daily posts. And even now, when I don’t have any troubles writing a couple of one page long posts a day, I feel that daily blogging helps me in maintaining and improving my skills (language, typing speed, focusing ability, research methods, etc).

By the way, if you feel like you need to do daily blogging, but realize that you have writer’s block at this very moment, here’s a helpful post for you to keep handy.

Weather update: something is really wrong

Weather forecast for July 5, 2006 for Limassol, Cyprus

What? Thunderstorm? On July 5th, 2006? In Limassol, Cyprus? I just hope that there is something wrong with this forecast, because otherwise there is something terribly wrong with weather. We were supposed to have hot and sunny summer over here.

And don’t get me wrong – I like rain like the next guy. But getting a thunderstorm in Limassol, Cyprus in the middle of summer is like seeing an honest politician on TV during the election campaign.

I don’t even have an umbrella…

Update: Yahoo Weather confirms the forecast.

Touched

I think today is the first time that I’ve been touched by a comics. Never ever before did drawn images had such an effect on me.

I am not an American, but I know about the 4th of July. I do not support American policy in Iraq, but I feel for people who die and lose their beloved there. I don’t care about American flag, but I’ve seen enough war movies from Hollywood to understand the flag triangles. I don’t live in America, but I’ve seen enough of “Daily Show” to know about the flag burning issue.
