The new software I have found will change the face of my blog, and as we all want positive results from change, i can only hope for the best when trying something new.
Indention. Who would have thought? Less web, more CSS and format manipulation. A chance to maybe to start crafting power from words.
It seems there is a predominance to blather; a random, incoherent exposition on the random topic. People get PAID to write random blather. These people have figured out the means to bring home the bacon by getting people to read the things they write while they try to avoid actually doing work. I can’t imagine Joe Sixpack sitting down any other time and actively seeking to read about the inner workings of their favorite blog. Rather, they tend to have the opportunity in-between water cooler breaks and ducking the boss while they feed the need to let the brain wander. These are the predominant readers of random, corporate-fed bloggage.
I’m writing for the sake of putting words to digital print, and as I write, I can’t but think there would have to be the same means to an end in the corporate blogging world as well. To be honest with you, I couldn’t fathom the thought of “blogging” as a fiscal investment, but it seems there are corporations out there willing to bet the farm (or at least the small shed on the other end of the field) on people who’s primary job is to talk about the things they know. Directionalized, to the point blogging about relevant, pertinent, and timely items of interest and events is one thing. A father, nearing future husband, and fringe worker in the tech industry is a complete other.
Another item of interest here is the honesty which can be afforded in any sort of publicized blog. I can’t talk about anyone I know in any sort of negative light, for fear of recoil. I can’t post the innermost thoughts and oddities without having significant others, family, friends, or coworkers wondering what’s up with that guy. I have to laugh at the people who wear their hearts on a string when they write online, but at the same time, I envy them. These people have found an audience, a place to vent, and a source of give-and-take you only uniquely experience online in a forum such as these. Honesty could give that sort of release you’re not going to find in just talking it out, yet, the darkest, most wicked, oddest observations I may have could be misconstrued. The items I really want to write here are not the political ramblings I place for the sake appealing to a broad audience. What I want to place here is the online version of me. Politically, and, unfortunately, responsibly, I cannot.
Just some observations. My fingers are cramping and laundry needs rotated.
