"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed," said Hemingway.

Maybe that's why I'm so exhausted. I wrote a lot this week (highlights: Hacker Angels, Posterous/Ambition, New Domain for Google Secure Search, Nimbula). I finally wrote a review of the Humble Indie Bundle here (Lugaru, Gish, World of Goo, Penumbra Overture, Samorost 2, Aquaria). And I've been doing a better job updating Hack Education.

But here are some of the stories I didn't have the stamina/blood/time to write this week:

The new iPhone: Despite having a 3G and leaning heavily towards Apple fanboi-dom, I didn't pre-order a new iPhone. And as the 24th was Kin's birthday, I didn't really feel like I should spend the day in line to get one. I did, however, try to upgrade my phone to the new iOS (and to a new jailbreak). But it was a bad idea, so thank you Lifehacker, for writing the instructions on how to roll back to an earlier operating system.

Print versus Digital Media: I got my Rolling Stone magazine in the mail late this week. The issue contained a profile on General Stanley McChrystal that by the time the magazine arrived "on newsstands" had already resulted in the General's firing -- and in Rolling Stone being "scooped" on their own story. Techdirt has a pretty interesting analysis of the whole print-first versus digital-first strategy in journalism.

The Business of EdTech: Ning announced this week that the educational publishing company Pearson has agreed to sponsor free Ning Minis for teachers. I've been thinking a lot about the relationship between industry and education this week. ISTE 2010 just kicked off, after all. (I could say more about my preference for bleeding over a typewriter versus bleeding over conference planning -- but that's a story for another day too.)
