Blog in peace

Do you think blogging is a safe job/passion?

You’re wrong!

A New York Times article show us blogging is dangerous.

If you read the article, you will know Russell Shaw died some days ago of a heart attack… Marc Orchant died in december of a massive coronary, while in the same month Om Malik survived an heart attack.

Even if you are still alive and kicking, remember that bloggers complain of weight loss or gain, sleep disorders, exhaustion and other maladies born of the nonstop strain of producing for a news and information cycle that is as always-on as the Internet.

I dont’ want to say anything more at the moment, but I would like you to read the article and tell what do you think about.

   Speaking of keeping alive, you haven’t updated your widget explaning how much you have taken in on your flash games for the experiment. You also haven’t added Ball Balance to the experiment (whether or not it was an experiment). With the Ball Balance you also haven’t revealed yet how much the sponsorship went for.

   Ball Balance is a fun game, it makes me wonder just how many great games you can come up with from the prototypes that you come across.

   Oh, and as the Queen song goes, “Keep yourself alive!”.

   Blogging is as dangerous and malevolent as any other activity, if you exceed your body and mental limits. The problem here is that some bloggers work until exhaustion, usually because of the big demand or their personal objectives.

   Those are just some of the possible problems one can have overworking. Just keep in mind, no matter what are your objectives, They will be harder to achieve with a bad health. Health is always the top priority.

   I blog to much.
   But I am not going to stop. I workout almost everyday. You just have to even it out.

   There’s no harm for me though, I am just 11, I don’t blog for a living.

   Cheers!

   I’m 12 and I don’t have a blog.
   Not enough to talk about and too much pressure.

    Cheers is a fun way to end a post.
