This Really is Unbelievable
When I would go a week or more at a time without posting, this achievement would have sounded near impossible. One month of consecutive daily postings? Two months? Try over three; this, ladies and gentlemen, is post #100 in my current posting streak.
This is helped by the fact that I haven’t gone on vacation anywhere (or even outside of Dallas for more than part of a day), and this one potential weakness will be tested in under two weeks. My 3 day trip to Iowa has the following characteristics: I leave the afternoon of the 7th, so no issue getting a post in early there; I come back the afternoon of the 9th, so I should be safe that day also. The kicker is the 8th – this is the day I have I’m in Iowa for the entire 24 hours and potentially no internet access (corresponding with the available time) with which to make a post. Therefore, I have two options as far as I see. First, I can let my streak break at 111 posts (assuming I keep it up through the 7th); this isn’t my option of choice. The second way is that, barring a computer I can make a post from, I enable WordPress’s “post by email” functionality and actually make a post from my cell phone. Yes, that’s just about as computer obsessed as you can get, but I think just by hosting my own blog on my own domain I’ve already reached that level. No loss of street cred for me, I don’t believe.
