Meta-Post

Jen Boynton at Triple Pundit wrote about How to Write a Successful Green Business Blog Post, which for me is very timely.  I read a lot of blogs and the tips seem pretty on point.

I'm not sure if I am really writing this blog for the consumption of others, yet.  It's funny to think about writing for an audience because I'm pretty sure the only person reading my blog right now is me.  Although my blog isn't intended as business blog I think I still need to remind myself; it is a blog, not a diary (and to post regularly).

Also, Triple Pundit... welcome to the Blog Roll.

Origin of a Blog

So I am currently reading Where Good Ideas Come From by Steven Johnson (on my kindle) and this passage struck me,

"So part of the secret of hunch cultivation is simple: write everything down."

The passage was related to how Charles Darwin came to the Theory of Evolution while going through his journals during his return from the Galapagos.

I have tried to keep a journal, it was unsuccessful so I am going to try a blog.  I think a blog will be much more interesting because of the ability to mix media.  I will try to post something no more than every other day (we will see how that goes). Also, going to add at least 3 tags per entry.

BTW...

I am really enjoying the book. It goes along well with The Medici Effect and all the Gladwells.

Here's a the promo clip for Where Good Ideas Come From.




Also, Steven Johnson was part of a discussion in the "What Does Technology Want" episode of RadioLab.
