A (we)blog is meant to be personal, but at the same time available to others. If you have something to write, then you post, if you don’t, then you don’t post. If your blog has too much junk in it, people won’t subscribe to it, if it is too irregular, they may unsubscribe.

If indiscriminant readership/authority is what you are after, you need to spend more time and effort on your blog. If however you are trying to publish thoughts, ideas, comments on certain academic topics you come across, and gain a more select crowd of readers, then set a goal and publicize it on your blog (just like you do with the podcast) – Just say – new posts every xx days/weeks, so readers don’t get caught off guard when there is no new post in 2 weeks.

I can’t remember who said it in the podcast, but I agree that the iPhone, for now, is not a “game changer” on GMU’s campus. I doubt many students have plunked down the cash. I’m sure we’ll discover that the students are all text messaging in the middle of class on their regular old cell phones.

It’ll be interesting to contrast GMU with my wife’s college (Davidson College), where they have explicit directions on configuring the iPhone to work with the campus wifi network.
