Modern Life is no longer updated.
After a long hiatus due to increased working commitment, lack of inspiration, and unclear goals: I've decided not to rekindle this blog but to start anew in more fertile soil. Modern Life will remain online as-is for the forseeable future.
I'm now posting at my new blog, User Interfaced.

Aye, the topic of the blog in question is a major factor regarding post length, no doubt - tech-oriented blogs (myself included) tend to have longer, more in-depth posts - and rightly so, in most cases.
I think if you're writing for entertainment, though - as most of the Technorati Top 100 are - then cutting the excess verbiage is critical to engaging readers. 250 words (or thereabouts) seems to be the ideal length - a quick read, but not too insubstantial.
