22 days has September?

By Tim McAlpine

I set a pretty audacious goal for myself—write 30 things in 30 days. I published 22 things. Not bad.

Truth be told, I haven't set enough time aside to blog in 2009 and the tweet above from the author of the Financial Brand, Jeffry Pilcher, gave me the kick start I needed to reinvest in the Currency blog.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but over the past month Morriss Partee has been blogging more, Matt Dean has posting some great stuff on Open Source CU after an almost two-year hiatus, and low and behold, Ron Shevlin has started a new blog!

Thanks Jeffry.

I've enjoyed spending time thinking more deeply than is possible in 140 characters! I will push the missing eight posts out over the next couple of weeks—I need to slow down a little.

I have to agree with Matt Davis, "I guess CU blogs aren't dead."

Seems to be you hit the mark, you just defined it wrong. There were 22 weekdays in September. We don't expect you to work on the weekends.

It's a great series.

The tweet wasn't a complaint or criticism. It just struck me the other day that there were these four blogs that -- around a year or two ago -- were almost daily required reading. And the best part was that you had to keep going back to older posts to keep up with the conversation.

It's been great to see Ron's return and your recommitment. But OpenSource and EverythingCU, with only 8 posts between them in the last 60 days, still aren't the bustling centers of activity and discussion that they once were.

Again, it's not a complaint. I just miss it, that's all.
