When stuff doesn't update

I like the Internet. No big surprise there.

Every once in a while, I get some free time, I follow links, I do a few searches, I look at the Blogs of Note and, voilà, I find interesting new stuff to visit on a regular basis.

Then I follow them and enjoy. It's like candy without the calories.

Some of the stuff I find is even like doughnuts without the calories, which, let me tell you, is even better.^[1]

And then?

Then people stop updating things. It might be a blog. It might be the Space.com Image of the Day. It might be a free game. Doesn't matter -- it just stops.

I can't blame anyone. I'm getting this stuff for free. Most of these things are not "going concerns" so why should they update merely because I want to read something new?

But when they go silent, it's like taking my candy away. I miss it. I can live without it, but it's slightly disappointing.

And that's today's topic.

Was it like a Tic-Tac? A Butterscotch? A Werther's? You decide.

I'm quite sure it's not a cream-filled Bismark.^[1] Some days are just better, and some are not.
