My first thought for this blog was as a developers diary to keep track of my geeky projects. This worked (like 90% of all blogs) for about one week. I still think this is a good idea (one worth reviving) however I also have some new aims for it:
1) Travel. Somebody suggested I write a blog while I’m in Europe instead of doing all those complicated emails. I (of course) rejected the idea almost immediately. So it was probably a good idea.
2) Expression. Maybe it’s self centered exhibition. Who cares. I’ve surmised that I use Facebook for two reasons: First, to keep track of which of my friends have got engaged this week. The second more sinister reason is to express myself in a way that others can, if they want, observe. The famous Facebook status, sometimes news, sometimes small talk, sometimes poetry. I’m sick of writing stuff that is both honestly me and also bland enough to be socially acceptable to the Facebook masses, also the space is a little small for poems. So blog it is. I don’t need anybody to read it, probably no-one will, but people can, if they want. Like painting something and hanging it on the wall. Those who love me are welcome to look at it and know me better.
