Seriously, I’ve been getting into the blogging thing again and I’ve found that the 100-word cap is making it easier for me to remain committed.

Putting this blog together is an exercise in frustration. I want to collect all my services in one place – Twitter, Delicious, Flickr, Blogroll, etc. – and I have to get down to the CSS level (and have a good eye for design) to make it look consistent.
Where’s my drag and drop? Where’s my interchangeable components? This is much harder than it should be. I’m suddenly reminded that the Web is still the domain of specialists and tinkerers. I’ll probably bust out the books and do some real customization work, but I’m lodging a formal complaint with the management.

I talk too much. It’s some sort of storyteller gene that causes back-story to fascinate me.
When I blog, articles tend to spiral into dozens of paragraphs as I try to capture every little detail and, with no end in sight, I end up scrapping the post and hating myself. Thus, I’ve launched and closed four blogs.
I’m trying something new today — blogging with a 100-word limit. Short enough that I can’t ramble, long enough that I don’t have to be pithier than I’m capable.
Let’s see if this makes a difference.
