On many occasions I've let my wife take my kids (now 5 and 2) to the park while I've chosen to stay home, just to have a few minutes of undisturbed computer time. I've chosen virtual obligations over real ones too many times. I've poured tons of time into projects that no one else will ever see or would even care about. I guess as we start creeping toward middle age it's natural to start questioning where we are spending our days. On my death bed I don't want my kids to say, "we barely knew him, but god damn he was one hell of a blogger." I can definitely relate to Trixer’s feelings.
