1. They do not lead to behemoth-sized, 7,000-word mega-articles that make me regret writing about them in the first place.
2. They do not involve any more significant "research" than maybe a Wikipedia article. This is kind of laughable, but I actually do frequently use references of some sort so I have a vague awareness of what's going on, e.g. when I was writing the What Will They Learn? sort-of-series I frequently referred to the WWTL? website, various university catalogues, etc., and this tends to suck down a lot of time.
The only things I can think of to write about fall very, very far from these two areas, which is why I didn't write anything last week. I think what I might do is write a longer series - kind of like the BCS series, but less thrown together at the last minute - and put it up when it's done. But of course, I'm open to suggestions from you guys.
