I have had several blogs now, and they have fallen by the wayside or disappeared completely. I think the reason was that I tried very hard to write within a theme or with no theme at all. I wanted to make reading them enjoyable for people who were interested in my topic of choice, or I wanted to make them personally relevant.
Both of these approaches have failed to a certain degree. In the interest of a fresh start, I have decided to use a different format and just start recording ideas that could belong to both classifications. I have recently started work at Fog Creek Software and am, for the first time in a long while, being asked to think critically about ’stuff’. Some topics and thoughts seem important at the time, and some things don’t seem significant at all, and still others don’t seem salient until much later when I have my “Oh shit, I wish I could remember what we said…” moment. I hope that this will be a place for me, initially, and others, later, to collect and respond to ideas.
