The Akashic Field Chronicle

Man. This blog hasn’t been updated in a while. It’s become almost a quarterly thing. Based on the dates of the past entries, it is. I wish I could update it more often. I read the following somewhere (forgot where) edit: well well well, it seems I saw it on Stellify.net, who quoted it from Andrew Sullivan:

A blog is less a publication and more a broadcast…

The point is, without regularity, a blog is useless. I think, writing short entries, but with good regularity would probably make it a bit easier. On the extreme case there’s twitter (which I haven’t really tried). edit: using it now, follow me!

I want to keep this blog alive (I’m not sure why), but it would take substantial effort on my part to keep it that way. On the one hand, nobody is forcing me to do it, but on the other hand, it’s a really great way to release stress (call it therapeutic). Besides, with grad school occupying the majority of my time, it’s one of the few ways to exercise that other part of the brain (left or right?).

A long long time ago, when I started this blog, I also had a lot of stuff to do, but I still managed to post once or twice a week. Once you start getting into the zone (i.e. post regularly) it becomes easier. So right now, I’m way way out of the zone. I think a couple of short posts at least once every week should fix that.

So without further ado… I’m announcing that I’ll be making this a more regular “broadcast” rather than a quarterly “publication”. Not so much for the audience (which right now is probably close to 0, except for the feed reader & facebook folks who will be forced to read it), but as an outlet for stuff I’m thinking about. Once I get myself back on a more regular schedule, I guess we’ll see where it goes from there.

Some Updates:

1. Tomorrow I’ll find out the results of the PhD prelims (nervous) – It’s this exam. Very important and given once a year, so if I fail, it’s a year long wait.
2. Done with course work – basically it’s all research from this point on (hopefully until I graduate).
3. Taking the TOP exam tomorrow – It’s this exam. An oral English test for those who want to apply as a TA.
4. I got my MS diploma! – thanks to Ate Mimi (UP EEE) for helping out
5. I miss home – I won’t be going back to the Philippines for at least 8 months (Christmas Holidays). Sad.

That’s about it, if you read this post, please do look forward to my next one (hopefully within a week or so – oooh, that’s quite a commitment, oh well).
