an apology

I've had a problem updating this blog for a while.

You may have noticed this by the slightly minimalist use of text in the previous month

My pervading use of space .

My theme of "the void" and "nothingness"

In other words I've basically written fuck all for the past thirty days

This is my problem:

Originally I'd started "Retro.."as a way to fart on about stuff that interests me, i.e. old video games ,computer games and other ancient things that light up and go "blip" . Its a pretty small niche I know.But I've tried to stick to it.
This can make things awkard as I feel have to write about >something<, and to be true to it , I feel I cant just throw down a few paragraphs about how I'm feeling i.e. the Sienfield style blog about nothing option isnt open too me (which funnily enough is what a blog should really be), I've tried to fight with myself to keep from alienating people who well actually have a life, and come up with something of interest ,while a lot of the time I really , really want to give in to my inner ubergeek and descend deliriously into dreamy prose about daley thompsons decathlon,daytona usa and dune II.(awful aliteration aside)
I've had about six stops and starts in the past two weeks because of this.Every time I'd attack a possible subject for an entry , I'd flesh it out , but start to think
"does anyone actually care about this stuff other than me" .Now I've been thinking tonight , a couple of the gaming magazines carry retro sections , e-bays teeming with people buying vintage video games (I know 'cos the bastards keep bidding against me), and theres a few ( ascant few , but a few none the less)posters over on the boards who know their pacman from their pole position.

I'm not alone!!

Anyway I guess the reason I'm writing here is kind of an apology for the next few entries which I have a suspicion will be painfully geeky ...

..sorry
