I will blog

I’ve tried blogging before; it was a struggle:

    • Do people care at all about what I think?
    • Once I write something, am I liable for that thought forever?
    • Perhaps I’m wrong…
    • Suppose this blogging place goes away…?
    • Is this the best place to put this?
    • …

So today, I’ve resolved to create my blog entries in the most permanent place I know, and then use OTHER blogging presences for “publishing” those blogs.

Today, the most permanent place I know is Google. They’re big, and they’re relatively open compared to other big places. And gDocs is a minimally viable place to write :( 😉

I will NOT treat my blogs as PERMANENT. I will retain the privilege and responsibility of updating my blogs if I feel they need it. They most always will need updating, as I will write from what I know at time of writing. Later, I am likely to have learned, and may choose to update my writing to reflect that new understanding.

Commentary on my blogs will unfortunately be relevant to specific versions / revisions of my blog entries. Hopefully, I choose blogging places that understand versioning.

So this is my “coming out” blog entry :)

Thanks to Frode…

Thanks to Frode for proposing and creating this forum for us to each keep other informed about our activities, thoughts, blogs, publications, etc. We EACH are (probably) already blogging and keeping our IP artifacts elsewhere, but this can be a place where we share pointers to those resources, and in particular keep a sense of “aliveness” to our shared online presence, distinct from the raw audio files kept at SoundCloud.

Proposal: As you create material online, whether as published articles, blogs, distinct domains, commentary, etc. place a link here to that work. In those works, include links to the source material you are building / commenting on, but ALSO keep a link to THIS SITE so that eventually, this site becomes well known as our central repository… at least until a better one is created :) .
