A deep dive into digital marketing

Blogging is like working out

Posted by Chris under Chicago, Travel

I’m sure I’m not the first and won’t be the last to write a post like this but after taking a few days off from most all technology. Not necessarily by choice but visiting family over the holiday in rural Illinois can leave you a bit out of the connected loop. Now don’t get me wrong visting Avon, Illinois where for the most part I grew up, except for my divorced kid travel to Amherst, is a nice diversion from the city.

Last year we got WiFi for my mom but cell service, at least for AT&T, of which I’m a subscriber, continues to be a challenge. So making a long story short I took a few days off from twitter, blogging, surfing, social networking and the internet in general.

Which meant more time for water skiing, tubing, and setting off a few fireworks. Oh, and star gazing, I always forget how the night sky really looks until a clear night visit down state.

But that takes me back to, blogging is like working out. A few days off and it’s hard to get the routine going again, just like I find with the gym/working out. Given a routine it’s great and becomes part of your daily system. A few days off and that first day back, well it’s not easy.

So I guess it’s with that note that i serve up what seems to be some tech “dish.” Happened to look at Vallywag last night and the article titled Kinderplex crisis reveals Google founder’s fumbling and fibbing, wow, trouble at Google, this referencing the New York Times article on problems at Google Day Care.

For some reason I find this interesting, maybe because it’s a public Google stumble, which is pretty darn rare.
