John Little at Chronicles of War

John Little (who I consider to be the best in the business) of the famous Blogs of War has started a new web log called Chronicles of War (clever site name, in association with the Houston Chronicles). His post at Blogs of War explains the idea:
I finally got my face in the hometown paper. Well, its web site at least. I didn’t even have to embezzle city funds, lead cops on a three hour chase, or plow my SUV into METRO’s light rail. My family should be proud.
Thanks to an invitation from blog/media/tech guru Dwight Silverman, I’ll also be blogging the war at the Houston Chronicle. Chronicles of War will cover the same topics you see here at Blogs of War but with a little more depth.
I’m excited about the prospect of getting these topics, and my take on them, in front of a new audience. I’ll keep you guys (and gals) in the loop on developments at Chronicles of War but I hope that you’ll check it out, link it, and participate in the discussion.
Here at the Captain’s Journal I try to focus a little more on analysis as well, as much as can be done by a “working stiff.” I am sure that John will do well at this. The only question is this: When will John sleep?
This does not bode well for an upstart like me. If you don’t put quality stuff out on a site, no one reads it. If you do, you get no sleep. Either you go un-read or you’re an insomniac. I don’t think I like my options.

Thanks for the kind words. I actually struggled quite a bit with this decision. I was looking for ways to cut back when the invitation came along.
I’m lucky to get 5 hours of sleep most nights. My new drums will probably be sold – lessons canceled.
It’s worth it though. These are critical times and every voice counts. And when you really think about it the sacrifices bloggers make are trivial.
