Pat Myself on the Feedback?
I've been getting some comments in meatspace about my blog from friends and relatives. The first thing was that a lot of my friends are reading it, some even without my knowledge. This is pretty cool -- I like that people can stumble upon my blog and I after months or years of not seeing me and read about me. It's easy and commitment free in a here's what I'm doing read it if you want kind of way. It's ... decidedly self-centered in its satisfaction too, but that's what blogs are all about and real bloggers won't have a problem admitting it. The other comment is that I blog too much about technical stuff and AudioMan. I know I do this though, because this is my professional blog. I blog about tech issues and my projects to join in geeky technical discussions with other geeks. I also have this blog's address on my resume so that maybe one day I'll be magically whisked away to a dream job by someone that notices this place and likes my bad blog post title puns. Yeah, probably not. So maybe there's a gap there. Maybe I do need a personal blog to talk about what I'm doing/thinking outside of high tech. I don't know about you, but I'm thinking that blog would be pretty boring! ... and yes, even more boring than this one. Why? Because this is pretty much all I do that's safe to talk about on the Internet. :P heh ... and mystery is fun. I get to keep a little for myself. PS> the new picture is a blog custom I meant to do earlier. It's like a picture in a newspaper byline signifying an editorial -- a face to the name, there ya go.
