Ofer is officially the last decently blogging person among us. Out of 8 items posted this far in the current 2009 year, 6 are written by him, one by me and another one by Oren (who is a really rare guest here).
I never was blogging quite regularly here. But in the last year I had a significant decline in the number of articles published. Maybe it's because we traveled less than he did. But I have another suspect in mind: Facebook! It's quite trendy to blame all the deadly sins on Facebook these days. It's accused of encouraging shallowness and of replacing real communication with virtual.
While I don't agree with all these accusations (yes, I do like Facebook, sorry), I certainly think it has something to do with me being less active in this blog. After all, it's all about sharing. And Facebook let's you share your photos, short thoughts, links and notes in much easier way. I also found that I stopped uploading pictures to Picasa, because Facebook is so much easier and exposed to more people at once.
But this blog is different. It's only ours, nobody else reads it. I think it kind of reflects our history as friends. If you trace back the articles you recall what was going on with us in the past few years. This is something Facebook can't do.
I want to remind that the entries here don't have to be long, it can be just a short something about anything. Yet any entry would be very valuable, history-wise. I intended this article to be an analysis of why I am not blogging much (except for the fact that I'm plain lazy), but it turned to be a motivation speech. How about that...

You sure got me motivated :) I was going to write something about our little trip to the Netherlands anyway, but now I'll feel really good about myself too :)
