The High-Pressure World of Blogging

Posted by Adrienne Martini

A warning to those who either are in the glamorous world of blogging or aspire to join it*, make sure you have your will up to date because blogging might kill you.

Self-defined high power blogger Om Malik had a heart attack just before the new year and points his finger towards his vocation as a possible cause. Which brings up a couple of questions:

1) Who is Om Malik?

2) After the nine billion PSAs by everyone from the American Heart Association to the droids of Star Wars, doesn't Malik know that smoking and sitting around aren't the best choices heart-wise?

3) How does this news warrant coverage in the New York Times?

I have no good answers -- but would like to remind my fellow bloggers to walk around and eat a carrot or something.

 

* Why in the name of all that is held dear in the world would you want to do such a thing? Why? Do you love sitting around in your jammies that much?
