More blogging, less Twitter.

It’s terribly louche to talk about blogging on your blog, but I think a new sense of openness would do us some good. I’m pleased to be able to tell you, for instance, that no horse was sacrificed in the making of this post.

I went on a Twitter fast over the Christmas holiday. A reaction to the stress of constant connection to the world was the primary reason I got rid of my smartphone a couple of years ago, but I recently became iPhoned and I’m keen not to get into that state of permatension again.

Also, it’s too easy to waste a good thought on Twitter, something that could be fleshed out and more posterititious (of, or pertaining to posterity, obvs) on my blog. You see, 140 characters is good, sometimes 140 words is better. There we are.
