Time for a Hiatus
Obviously I haven’t been posting much here lately. This is mostly been because I haven’t had much to say; while I have been pretty busy at certain points in the past few weeks, there were other times when I had plenty of time to write here, but nothing to talk about. Overall, I think this blog has never really worked out. I started it because I was interested in energy issues and had begun writing about them at my main blog, which focuses mostly on archaeology. I thought it would be better to have a specialized blog if I was going to write a lot about energy, and I do still think that’s a good idea, but as it turned out I didn’t know enough about energy to have much of interest to say. I’ve continued to learn, and it’s quite possible that at some point I’ll have more to say and will say it here, but recent changes in my life have put me in a position where energy isn’t going to be a major focus of what I do. Energy issues are big in Alaska, of course, and there’s even an interesting wind project in development very close to Anchorage, but realistically I’m not going to be dealing with energy very much in my job, and I won’t have much time outside of it and I’d like to focus that time on other interests. Of course, this blog gets very low readership, so this won’t be a big deal for anyone but me. Under the circumstances, stepping away for a while seems like the best option.
