I love Mark Evans post Why Original Blog Thought is So Difficult.  He says:

<liberal plagiarism of Mark's work goes here> 

I was just going to quote the whole thing. It would have been a delightful little prod, but the post is so darn long…  can you make it shorter the next time, Mark?

In all seriousness, though, his point about having access to a steady stream of new ideas to write about is valid.  If you decide you're going to write "news" you'd better have a steady source of fodder or you'll drive yourself mad.  To that end, I'll give Skribit a try too. If you've got a topic you'd like to see written up on this blog, use the suggestion box at left.  That way when I run out of original thoughts, I can borrow one or two of yours.

Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
