What's the Point?

Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 02:42AM

I'm constantly amazed at how my purpose for this site keeps shifting. MerelyHuman was originally intended to be my mental warehouse of sorts. The philosophical depths of which you could lose yourself in. As a professed blogger, the only thing I'm losing is my mind as paper keeps proving itself to be the more accessible medium. It'll get there, I suppose, I'm just coming to terms with the idea that it'll take time.

So on paper my best ideas remain, until I can master this particular juggling act. For now, I'm just going to have to settle for putting out average length blog posts. Don't cry, unless you're emo.

Blogging is hard. My advice to you if you have nothing to say: Don't Blog.

Yeah, the guys at 37signals discovered this a long time ago: That you have to approach these kinds of endeavors in an ultimately iterative fashion. I admit I tend to get ahead of myself, underestimating and then foregoing the leg-work for more planning. And then nothing gets done, when seeming-insignificant, incremental improvement would have at least meant marginal progress. Ok, rant over.
