I started the year meaning to get posting more to the blog. I had a good start going for a while.
Then I discovered Twitter a couple months ago and pretty much ground the blog to a halt. I tend to think of a blog post as a longer-form article kind of thing. Twitter's 140 character limit makes for a much lower psychological threshold to fire something out there. Also, feedback is easier and faster on twitter than a blog.
Originally this site was all about Margo and I and our wedding. When I came out as a blogger in late 2005, I wanted to turn it into more technical blog. It became a little bit of a problem for me to post useful tech info for things I do at work without talking too much about where I work and who I work for.
While the blog's still at its core about what ever I want to write about, it's been trending towards music a lot lately. I've been thinking a lot about music and independent artists lately and I want to explore that more on the blog.
Since I have a decent recording rig, one of the things I'm working on is a regular series of posts on my learning to play guitar. I'm also working on some audio walkthroughs of the gear that I have too.
I'm going to do more music related posts...some regular some not so regular... and see where it goes. I will still post on technology because it's still all about what I want to write about but I'm going to see where the music stuff take me for a while.
