I’ll tell you this; I’m not quite accustomed to this kind of personal writing in my column. I’ve been told repeatedly that people expect content that is more personal in blogs. If you haven’t realized this isn’t your typical blog. I don’t want to be just like all the other complainers out there rambling on about their mundane day.
I like providing information. I like connecting with people about real subjects not with barely intelligible drivel about the latest fight someone had with their girlfriend. That being said, I do like the informal manner a column can take inside the world of blogging. And occasionally, I’ll write about my day or about how things are going in general in my life.
Even with so much going on in my life, I have a difficult time imagining people want to hear about my day. Some of them are not that exciting. I spend a lot of time with my son, Tristan, cleaning house, and writing. We do get to have adventures every couple of days, travel quite a bit, and are constantly meeting new people. Sometimes I think if Tristan could write, he’d have a more interesting blog talking about his day, than I do.
That’s why I try to provide information from some of the articles I’m working on, perhaps people can learn something while browsing these columns. Sure, they can read a longer, better-written version when it comes out in Popular Science or PCWorld, or even wait for one of my books. But, this is free and the articles are condensed and easier to read than the ones I write for magazine editors.
Okay, you can go back to your soap operas and Monday Night Football. I have to finish playing Doom 3 so I can get the review finished.
