Is Blogging the Sweat Shop of Technology?
Are you one of those world-class bloggers bit by the bug of competition and the rewards of being heard around the world? Bravo if you are -- but please take care and remember that you are not a veal. Lift yourself up out of your chair and walk around the block every once in a while. And by all means take your daily aspirin. The world needs to continue to hear what you have to say!
Here's a rather disturbing article from the New York times talking about the habits of bloggers and how some habits are leading to their mortality. Yikes! I quote: "Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Fla., funeral services were held for Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger on technology subjects who died at 60 of a heart attack. In December, another tech blogger, Marc Orchant, died at 50 of a massive coronary. A third, Om Malik, 41, survived a heart attack in December."
This is essentially an article about pay by the piece blogging - people who are paid to blog. But it does make one consider one's habits (especially as one sits continuously in front of one's computer).
