On (not) being a two blog mind
[to Del.icio.us]
Keeping a second blog is apparently all the rage. Not only is Stephen Carlson Feeble Mindings, but now David Ker is no longer content to speak just Lingamish, but he's gone completely Lingalinga with a second blog. It is probably just an excuse to get lots of links like these, to raise his already inflated standings but I have doubts about this blogflation.
When we were in Congo people used the euphemism "Deuxième Bureau" (or second office) to speak of the mistress a rich man might keep as well as his wife. Certainly anyone who can maintain two blogs must be (time) rich, but are they also unfaithful or is this a useful trend?
When I started this blog, back in 2004, I said:

That assessment remains true! So, no second office for me, though I do hope to keep my audio annex going with posts to 5 minute Bible... but not until my paper for the God and Gender colloquium is finished!I am not sure that I can blog ...
So this probably is not [yet?] a blog, therefore it's a NonBlog, yet I'm not joking (in French sans blague ;)

Sometimes maybe one blog good, two blogs better. I have to admit I was of two minds in creating a second blog - and both have enormous projects on them - one on Psalms and a full portrait target completion in x years, the second hosting a story that I expect will have about 400 parts! So it is a multi-year project also. WIll I ever have fun?
I look forward to your entries, Tim.

If a person can't or won't write enough to blog regularly on one, why double the misery and write even less on two?
