Temperance
I think the Flickr thing makes me more attentive to my visual environment. I like getting images of my local geo-space. I was interested by this, beneath the window of an antique shop, reflecting an earlier use of the building. [What would you do at a Temperance Bar - not buy a friend a drink, maybe?] So I'm looking out more, but at the same time working a lot onscreen feels like looking in more...and my eyes burn if I put in too many hours. It's looking as if even sending texts on my mobile is a strain, too. Still, apart from being blind as a bat from too much print-reading, my eyes are in good nick.

These are real, genuine, They are verifiable and student records and
transcripts are also available. This little known secret has been
kept quiet for years. The opportunity exists due to a legal loophole
allowing some established colleges to award degrees at their discretion.
With all of the attention that this news has been generating, I wouldn't
be surprised to see this loophole closed very soon

OH no! Could this be the beginning of something.....
How dreadful!
I got a post on my BLOG telling me i could earn money in my spare time. What spare time? and wheredo these things come from? Can we stop them? Mine was blogging anoymously and I had no way of finding out why I was chosen? Do you think it is random?
By the way I agree withyou about the smallness of the numbers we write for who actually respond. I our BLOGs act as magnets for particular affinity sets and yet many of the comments posted remain at a very shallow level. Still it is an enjoyable way of exercising the writing muscle and I think it can be well employed in developing reflexivity amongst students.
Let us know if you decide to go for another degree! MBA perhaps
I think this must be random. Of course one could remove it or block comments altogether, but I thought it was worth leaving, just so that other readers were aware that spammers were about.
On your other point, I think I've come to accept that the writing is mostly consumed by the affinity group (that's OK) but is always there for the occasional visitor or passer-by. Comments on posts do vary considerably, but I am sometimes slightly disappointed. I'll write something that I think is quite challenging and add some rather trivial detail in passing...and it'll be the trivial detail that's picked up in the comments.
I like your idea of flexing the writing muscle as well. I think that's a big motivation for me. That and the possibility of a free, unfettered voice. And I suppose that's why I started wondering if our blogging was a bit flat, a bit lacking in critical or political edge.
