Someone asked me why I post more (and, in their words, "post better") on days away from work. I think there are a couple answers:

First, there's a lot of stuff at work that I just can't talk about (yet, ever, need to keep firewall between personal site and work matters, etc.)

Second, at work I spend my days attached to the firehose of the Internet, so you'll see a lot more from me in the way of links. On days away from work I see, well, the rest of the world. So when I get to a computer for a few minutes you get to hear me blather about Scared Straight programs and tiger sanctuaries.

Do I like one type of post better than the other? Not really.

Work-day posts: I honestly like the links I post (unless I'm posting them because I explicitly don't like them.) And I like blathering on and on about the game industry and game design. I like having an archive (even if it is slightly broken right now (UPDATE: fixed now)) of that stuff I can go back to whenever (and heck, from whereever) I want.

Off-day posts: I wish I were out enough, observant enough, smart enough, coherant enough to write posts every day like Lileks. On some of those off days--my trip home at Thanksgiving, the journey out to GDC--I feel like I get at least in the same zip code, if not the neighborhood. But I can't do that kind of thing everyday. So I (try to) entertain you all with the link-and-rant song and dance.

Hopefully that balance works for you. I think it does.

I'm pretty sure it does for me.
