I've noticed that some bloggers encourage using real names, rather than pen names such as 'dustiam.' I'd like to propose an alternative. Why not use a photo of a blogger or simply post the height and weight of a blogger? We could easily tell if a particular person is showing the effects of too much blogging. [Maybe that's the reason why there are so few pictures of bloggers who are more than 25 years old.]Based on my experience of less than two months, blogging takes a lot of mental energy but little physical energy. It is so easy to use a nearby flat surface to hold drinks and food that are eaten without thinking. I confess that right now a glass that is within arm's reach was formerly full of milk, ice cream, and chocolate malt. Unfortunately, I told myself it was ok to fix the shake because I exercised earlier.
So here are my questions for bloggers:
- Are you now wearing loose fitting clothes or pajamas that have grown a little tighter recently?
- Do you prefer to eat your meals and snacks as you blog?
- Is the only time you get up from the computer terminal when you go to the refrigerator (or to the littlest room in the house)?
- Do you leave your (cell) phone next to the monitor so that if it rings, you don't need to get out of your chair?
- If there were a free service for an artist to draw a cartoon of you seated at your terminal, would you post it on your blog? Even if the face were eliminated?
- Do you walk regularly by a full length mirror? Do you look and cry?

While I actually like the little picture of the oinker, I've been consciously blogging less because I've just made a resolution to limit myself to 5 hours of non-work internet time a week. I've had to blog less because of it, but I won't use more than 5 hours a week.
This post was written mostly for myself, as I am finding my life much more sedentary than before.
Stephen, your resolution makes a lot of sense. I'm going to try something like that.
