I ran across Southern Stump, the weblog of Finlay J. McFadden (isn't that a great name?) today via JD2B. McFadden blogged for less than a month this past spring; his sign-off post says,

SITE STOPPED: TO MUCH WORK
I gave this a good try but, it simply requires to much work. It is at least an hour a day to find, analy[ze] and edit a post. Considering my time is billed at $300/hour, it was costing me $1,500/week or over $75,000 a year. It's not worth it.

Now I wonder if upon graduation from law school and employment at big firms, Chris, Nick and Jeremy -- not to mention the many other law students whose blawgs I read -- will all conclude that their time is too monetarily valuable to be spent on reading and writing that cannot be billed to a client. I've always thought of blogging as enjoyable leisure activity, like watching TV, but when The McFadden does the money breakdown, it's hard to argue.
