Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

…when you feel the pressure to post every day? Wouldn’t you rather read something worthwhile and meaningful, instead of something that I just dash off in order to post every day? And, if I do not have anything interesting or meaningful to write about, shouldn’t I be spending my time on other projects or with my family? Of course. Life and work and hobbies are a balancing act, and until I can recruit some more contributors, there may only be one post per day or so.

Scott Donaton at Ad Age Digital agrees:

There’s a lot of sharp, intelligent insightful commentary on blogs that offer a unique perspective. But the pressure to update them constantly (or face disapproving tsk-tsks) means there’s also a lot of meaningless crap and babble, not to mention endless, empty interpretations of news stories that have already received saturation coverage elsewhere.

Effective today, I’m proposing the creation of a new form of online opinion writing: The Clog, or Column Blog. And I’m declaring “When Trains Fly” to be such a Clog. I’ll try my best not to disappear for long stretches. But I also promise that I will only write when I believe I have something to say that’s worth your time (an admittedly subjective filter).

For those of you who do not subscribe, how many posts per week would you like to see? And if you haven’t subscribed, why not?
