The Return of the Blogger

One of my resolutions this year was to blog more. Well, here we are at the end of January and this is the first of the year. I could come up with a lot of reasons, but it really boils down to a chest cold, a torn ACL (which I'll post about separately) and work which has left me little energy when I get home at night. None of those are really good reasons, but here we are. Mitch accuses me of being a "bad blogger" - I like to think I'm just keeping his RSS reader free of clutter. Paula, who I convinced to blog, has posted way more than me. Nate says it's not a competition but I do feel like a bit of a slacker.

My last post was in October, so I have catching up to do. I'll do separate posts so a) it looks like I post more and b) you won't be bored by long posts. Some items to look forward to:

  • How to Play Hockey Without an ACL
  • Autumn Blaze 2007
  • The Milk Can Game
  • Mark's New Toys
  • Fun with Hand Drums
  • New Year's 2008
  • and more.....
I'll just try to remember what I told Paula when I convinced her to blog: It's about the writing, not who reads it.

Well it's not about who reads it .... up to a point. I've read stories about people who lost or didnt' get jobs for what they wrote in a blog. I'm not sure I agree with that line of thinking or doing but I'm still cautious about what I post for that reason.

Welcome back.

Hmmmm....perhaps I should clarify. I guess I meant you should write for yourself, not for your audience. It is good to remember that putting anything on the web has a huge (and maybe unwanted) audience.
