       | Blogging is even harder when you reach the point that you've
       | shared your wisdom (speaking in reaction to current events) and
       | either turn into your broken-record dad, or simply taper off.
       | 
       | Much easier to do the latter when your opinions are of the sort
       | that trigger the cancellation mob.

       | The trick to blogging is to lower your standards. If you sweat
       | over every word, you'll never publish - you'll end up with a
       | giant folder full of half-finished blog drafts and you'll never
       | publish anything.
       | 
       | I like to repurpose Reid Hoffman's classic line "If you aren't
       | embarrassed by the first version of your product, you shipped too
       | late" to blogging. I deliberately hit publish when I'm not yet
       | happy with what I've written. The alternative is to never write
       | at all.
