Heh, I appreciate the encouragement :) However, good explanatory writing about tech is extremely difficult and time-intensive. If I were working full-time on writing about CPUs (or other tech) and trying to do the kind of stuff I used to do for Ars, I might be able to manage two articles a month... maybe realistically it might be like 1.5 articles a month. And that would be going at it full time.
I'm just not really sure that at this point in my life (I just turned 40), that I want to trade, say, three years of my 40's for about sixty or so CPU (or other tech) explainer articles. I dunno... I might... I'm not saying that I /don't/ want to do it. In fact, I think about it sometimes, because there's a whole lot to be said for doing something that you're really good it and that people appreciate, even if it's sort of niche and random like writing about CPUs. So maybe I could be talked into it. But I also think, maybe I'd rather try and write a zombie novel, or a graphic novel, or something else random. Who knows... First-world problems and all that...
