For a long time now I have been bringing you a quick analysis of eight current news stories every week. This is stopping because I feel that the analysis is not getting the attention it deserves. Instead I will post single item news “shorts” as and when they crop up. This should keep the site content fresher and better reflect the news flow.
I am taking a week off to revisit one of the greatest cities on earth, Istanbul. It was the capital of the world under the Romans and again under the Ottomans. The layers of history, heritage and culture make many other great cities seem like villages in comparison.
So I am giving you all a week off from reading my diatribes. Normal service could well resume in about ten days.
Bruceongames is now a respectable body of work with over 460 articles, some of which have become “standards” and are now read by people every day. The blog has achieved everything I set out to do. I have expressed my views on a range of topics, proven that I can think and write and even become a little more well known. Some of my predictions have come true, others haven’t, but I am not unhappy with the success rate.
However creating this stuff takes a lot of time and I don’t get paid for it, the Google ads at the side literally only bring in pennies. So I have decided that there are better things I can be doing in my life than 5 articles a week on here. However I don’t want to lose the platform. So starting now I am going to try to generate just two articles a week. One in the first part of the week will be a proper article and the second one, later in the week will be an overview of bits of news that support my world view. It may pan out that there is more, or less. We will see.
