When I first set up a blog (Asbestos Den), it was about whatever I wanted to talk about. Since I was interested in politics and comics, both topics came up often. Whenever either myself or other bloggers came up with comic book metaphors for things in the news, I often titled the resulting post with, “The Merry Marvel Blogging Society,” or an alteration upon that.

Later on I felt the need to try to stress what makes my blog unique from all others, and thus was created ComicsPundit. I focused mainly on politics & comics (separately and when they overlap), but sometimes I drifted off from the core topics.

But now I’m following the philosophy of posting the more personal or completely off topic items to Asbestos Den.

I’m questioning the wisdom of that.

Much of what makes attracts me to a radio show, podcast, or blog, would things that make the individuals behind them presonalities and not just a “voice of authority.” It humanizes them, and makes me interested in the person as much as the topic they are talking about. That’s why I follow Tony Kornheiser in all his endeavors. This is why Instapundit is more fun than just news aggregation. So why should I take that away from my blogs?

More importantly, for friends to follow my blogging, they have to go to two sources. That just seems a bit pretentious in hindsight.

So I’m considering merging everything into ComicsPundit.

So if my two loyal readers, or anyone else reading, has an opinion on the matter, please comment. Thanks.

Now having said all that, I am considering starting yet another blog. But it would be with the hopes of making it a single topic group blog, which would make the separate branding much more appropriate. If it gets off the ground, It’ll be about dropping Cable and Satellite TV in favor of watching TV online, which is what I’ve done in myself recently as a cost cutting move. But still, I watch as much TV as ever, just watching it through my computer. If anyone is interested in participating, please contact me (the email link is in the left sidebar).

Thanks.
