> Not content with, or exhausted by, his efforts at Ubersportingpundit, Scott Wickstein has launched a spin-off blog called Ubersportingpundit Cricket Extra. It's 'to hold longer posts about cricket'. Well, I ain't complaining; there should be more cricket blogs. You should launch a cricket blog.

> Philip Stott (scroll down to May 27) is running a poll on The Day After Tomorrow, a movie I certainly intend to see, whatever its scientific credentials. I mean, take a look at Manhattan.

But what's that I see coming down the road? Four elderly buggers on a lawnmower? Two wearing frock coats, by the looks of it. Crazy. And what's that [bleep] awful music they're playing?Some points. I said Denver, Colorado, not London. Also, I added: 'And they'd still be waiting after that'. Dave, incidentally, has the most unstable blog title I've ever seen. He's gone from being a professor abroad to a philosopher abroad to a bullshitter abroad to a man abroad, all in the space of - what? - a week. Why Dave?

Blogging is a pastime for many, even a livelihood for a few. For some, it becomes an obsession. Such bloggers often feel compelled to write several times daily and feel anxious if they don't keep up. As they spend more time hunkered over their computers, they neglect family, friends and jobs. They blog at home, at work and on the road. They blog openly or sometimes... quietly so as not to call attention to their habit.If you've got the problem, you'll find more there to interest you!
.....
Sometimes, too, the realization that no one is reading sets in. A few blogs have thousands of readers, but never have so many people written so much to be read by so few.

Where some frequent bloggers might label themselves merely ardent, Mr. Pierce is more realistic. "I wouldn't call it dedicated, I would call it a problem," he said. "If this were beer, I'd be an alcoholic."
