Content is king

So geht das hier ja nun nicht weiter. Die FOM ist abgeschlossen, die Hochzeit ist gelaufen. Eigentlich sollte ich doch nun deutlich mehr Zeit haben, hier den ein oder anderen Artikel fertig zu stellen.

In der Queue stehen Entwürfe, ich habe hier Tabs offen die zum Teil schon mehrere Jahre und ein OS-Update überlebt haben und ich erlebe ja tatsächlich auch hin und wieder bloggenswerte Sachen die eben nicht in 140 Zeichen passen. Hier wird mal besser bald ein ganz anderer Wind wehen. Zwei Posts pro Woche sollten doch machbar sein, oder?

I mean, if I don’t get up and start to blog anytime now, I could as well just give up, buy this friggin’ cool iPad thingie and consume the hell out of the web instead of contributing to it.

Oder?

Oder?
