death by blogging?

Not a story about politicians whose careers have been destroyed by bloggers daring to print what the mainstream media discretely overlook, but an inquiry into the potential affects of working too-long hours and the stresses of a no-vacation, little sleep lifestyle. This report in The New York Times looks at the working habits of those who blog for dollars and asks whether the recent deaths of some high profile bloggers is coincidence or indicative of health risks resulting from a fast-paced and stress- filled career choice.

Hardly a problem for most of us who blog for fun and our own ego gratification, but a reminder that maintaining balance remains vital to achieving a a long and healthy life.
