Bloggers, be aware of your health!

Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Fla., funeral services were held for Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger on technology subjects who died at 60 of a heart attack. In December, another tech blogger, Marc Orchant, died at 50 of a massive coronary. A third, Om Malik, 41, survived a heart attack in December.

Other bloggers complain of weight loss or gain, sleep disorders, exhaustion and other maladies born of the nonstop strain of producing for a news and information cycle that is as always-on as the Internet.

    Ah.. I see the keywords here. If they are so serious about their work (blog), they would be dead anyway with any other job. We are just blogging what we do daily, instead of having a stress or obligation to create something NEW, we are save. Of course, it’s exciting to see friends leaving response. But if you care enough to have a stress, it is of course not right, especially we don’t get any money out of it. HA!
