My little site is alive again

I don't know what happened with the 2 week slump, but traffic is back. I didn't do much different because I've been busy.

I've got some plans for the end of the year to create a distinction here with what I do. One thing I'm planning on doing is reaching outside the handful of faithful real estate bloggers. This will become less a real estate blog and more of a something else blog, although real estate will still be a main topic.

On another note, I'm fascinated with the upcoming election. Our country will show its hand in this election and whichever way it goes, I believe there will be a feeling of having settled something -- this will be good for the economy.

There's something about our mindset in this country that will be revealed according to who is elected. I have a feeling that we're headed for four years of rapid change that will reshape the nation and underneath it all will be a realization that we are going beyond government. Government is showing itself more and more as a failure in a new world of information and technology innovation. While government players are still capturing the headlines and an older generation still sees it as important, a younger generation will see all the cracks in the system and out-of-touch weirdness of our crusty politicians.

There will be a grand battle between old guard control-freaks and what the internet has created through networks and free-flowing information -- the wired minds will eventually win this struggle because they aren't even fighting -- it's just an unstoppable wave.
