So I haven't written for almost a year. Before that, it was really sporadic. Before that I often wrote more than once a day. So what happened? That's what I've been wondering tonight. Here are a couple thoughts.
- My life and my objectives completely changed after Serenity was diagnosed with Leukemia. Blogging anything that wasn't about her seemed a waste of time.
- My interest in being very public with my life and my thoughts waned. A lot of the things that happened that year were too personal to talk about and they were the dominating factor in my life.
- Blogging itself got old. I fail to see the point any longer in being the 'first one' to talk about a tech item. Especially because there are a lot of shills out there that do just fine covering that.
- My interests have really changed. I still stay on top of tech news but it's not the dominating factor in my life anymore. I've been looking for ways to change course with my career towards things I'm more interested in – tech combined with other things like security, survival and prepping.
- Most recently I've been more into talking about things on Facebook. Micro-blogging became more interesting to me than writing big long articles.
- This blog was always about building my "brand" as a bleeding edge tech guy. My brand is diversifying a lot lately but this will still be about my "brand"
- Honestly, blogging became boring after several years.
So here's what I'm thinking about doing. I'm going to resurrect my blog and just write about the stuff I'm interested in, stuff I'm doing and stuff I'm thinking about. A lot of times that will have to do with technology, a lot of times it won't. Most of the posts will probably be short and simple. Since this blog pushes to my twitter and facebook account I'll probably use it for micro-blogging to some extent. Basically, my blog is going to be about me and what I'm doing, not so much about technology and tech news. If you're still subscribing to me, cool – but you may not be as interested in my posts anymore.
I may just get bored with it and not really post much.
