I feel all of that -- I'm still in the position of writing/blogging about things that I think are interesting such that it is really a joy to do when I can block off the time to really do it, without the pressure of a contract or obligation. Thanks for your thoughts!

Instead of commenting on your writing about what you are not writing, let me instead tell you something I miss a lot from writing you have done in the past that you have not done recently!

I really used to love when you took a recent paper that showed some interesting result and went through it in detail for us. You haven’t done that stuff since before Forbes was your platform I think. I miss it and not many people do that anymore.

Yeah, I used to do that because ScienceBlogs was pretty free-wheeling about using figures from research papers. Forbes was really uptight about image rights, though, so I couldn't copy figures to refer to, and without the ability to show real data, I didn't feel like it was worth doing. I may give it a shot here, though, if the day-job pressure ever eases up.
