I suppose you may be feeling neglected this past week, dear reader, wondering why your beloved Ideapad has gotten quieter immediately following the promise of livelier content and essays.

(Well, I hope that’s what you feel; after all, I post here for you as much as me, in the interest of being a voice of at least minor importance and influence, and not just a self-aggrandizing horn-tooter, although I am probably that as well; indeed, I will not deny that I derive significant pleasure from reading my own archives from time to time, although I should hope so, seeing as they’re my own memoirs-in-the-making, and if I can’t enjoy my own memories, then what does one have, really? But still, I do post for my audience, rather deliberately, as there is plenty that I write but do not share here, and I am a newspaper man by the training of my youth, which basically dictates that I write to be read, not simply to express myself, which I do plenty within my cranium, regardless of my writing, and this desire to be read is quite obviously why I have a Web site, which brings us back to the first sentence of today’s entry, which has no doubt scrolled off the page for you by now, so let me start again:)

I suppose you may be feeling neglected this past week, dear reader, wondering why your beloved Ideapad has gotten quieter immediately following the promise of livelier content and essays.

Two things I can share with you on that front.

1. Artistic muse being what it is, now that I’ve gotten away from link-paragraph-witticism in favor of more weighty and thought-out topics, it’s not as easy to do one a day. The burden is on me to find my pace, and I will do so, soon.

2. The weblog, per se, still exists. It’s the top right of your screen (once called “Click’n’go,” currently called “Linkorama,” sure to change names again soon), and it’s been updated quite liberally since the format change October 1. I hope to place things there daily, regardless of when I post essays and theories.

When you think about it, there’s more to do here than there was a week ago, not less. Yeah.
