The one thing I don't see being discussed there is this:
I need a Brain -> Blog interface!
I need something that can take all the article ideas in my brain and just mystically make them appear on my various blogs. My problem is not a lack of ideas. No way! I have the opposite problem.
Every day I wake up with my head exploding with stories to be told ... and every night I find myself going to bed with so many of those stories left untold.
I have an article queue miles long... and I find myself thinking through stories at all sorts of times... but finding the time to actually write and post those stories is so incredibly difficult. Between crazy work hours, a family I love to be with (including an extremely cute but demanding 5-month-old) and, well, the need to sleep and eat... the time to convert those articles from thoughts in the brain to words on a blog site seems incredibly hard to get.
I want the interface that's in many cyberpunk/sci-fi stories... where I can just think the text that I want to post and... ta da.. it magically gets created! Sadly, such things are right now only in stories and research labs... but it sure would be nice to have.
Meanwhile, back in the reality of 2009, I guess I'll just have to figure out how to carve out some more time... ;-)
