And If you ask me which picture has touched me the most, I think this one says everything. It doesn't show any of the devastation, but somehow it still show what has been lost:

Microblogging killed the long form...

I guess Microblogging (Aka Twitter, Identi.ca and Facebook Status) has basicly killed the blog as we knew it 10 or 15 years ago. The platform itself is not dead because it still fill a need that no other platform does.

In my case, it still serves as a public display of various notes. Ideas that i want to put writing form. But since I switched jobs, and my free time shrank, I simply haven't had time to update this blog. I don't want it to die, but I still point my friends to various post I did years ago.

I do have some ideas for future post. I'll try to put in new life into this blog, but I can't promise anything...
