Where has the geeeek gone?

I can not believe it’s been 4 months since I’ve blogged on geeeek.com. I haven’t had a drought like this in YEARS!! So what’s the deal? Well, it’s a combination of things;

1. Lack of direction
When you get down to it, I don’t really know exactly what I want to do with geeeek.com. Is it a personal blog? Is it a tech blog? If so, do I have time or the desire to stay up on tech subjects to make my site remotely interesting? I have to answer all of those questions with “I don’t know”

2. Lack of time
I got a promotion at work a few months back and it has really chewed up a lot of my free time. This isn’t a bad thing and it’s certainly not a complaint. But, it is what it is. More time at the office = less time at home. Less time at home means less time with the wife and kids. Less time to spend with them = less time for things like blogging and side projects.

3. Other hobbies
Since I don’t really make money from blogging (not much to speak of, anyway), I have to categorize it as a hobby. I have found that my free time has become more valuable to me and spending my free time sitting in front of a computer isn’t always what I want to be doing. I picked up a guitar (that I don’t play enough) and have recently picked up digital photography as a hobby. I’m really interested in learning both.

4. Other blogs
For a while I had a bunch of different blogs going. Some tech, some personal, some hobby and some just silly. I really enjoy blogging and have been blogging at least once a week on a blog I started a few months ago that is NOTHING but my personal rantings. That site is JohnHawkinsUnrated.com.

So, for now, geeeek.com will stay as it is. I can’t say when the next time I’ll post here will be. I’m guessing that if I do pick it back up at some time, it will have a specific focus. Not sure what I’ll do with the archived posts, but I guess I’ll figure that out when the time comes.

Cheers.
