A Change in Cadence

According to WordPress, today marks the 77th consecutive day that content has been posted on this blog. Unfortunately, this post marks the end of a.k.a. V.J. as a daily enterprise — at least until next May.

The Fall 2023 semester is just a week away at the time of this writing. I’ll be teaching two classes on top of working at my full-time job. With those time constraints, I need to scale back on my post output. It remains to be seen what sort of a cadence will be workable going forward, but I expect it will be one to three posts per week.

The hallowed halls of academia beckon! (I’ll actually be teaching in the building next to this one, but the Sheldon Hall cupola is more collegiately beckoning.)

The topics of future posts will likely shift a little bit as well. The blog will necessarily become less of travelogue, as I won’t be out and about as much. There will probably be more written about marketing and advertising, since I’ll be immersed in teaching those subjects and they’ll be top-of-mind. But, as always, I won’t really know what subject matter will emerge from my keyboard until I sit down to write. Approaching this project as an open-ended grab-bag is the sole reason that I was able to maintain a daily pace for two and a half months. I will continue to embrace the lack of thematic direction as a feature rather than a bug.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by this space at some point over the past 77 days. I hope you will continue to check in from time to time to see what musings the busy fall inspires.
