Late to the party?

So I have a blog. Well how about that.

Working in the new media space that I do, a lot of people found it very surprising that I wasn’t actively maintaining a blog. Keeping that in mind, it might actually surprise you that I’ve actually been the holder of a permanent account over at LiveJournal for quite some time now and while it has been dormant for a while, I once was quite the active LJer, helping with groups and organizing local meetups.

So after a long hiatus from the blogging world, and a few tries at starting this back up, it’s finally gone live, and I’ve already been asked “Why, If you were operating so well without one, would you start one? And why now?”

My answer? To add to the conversation, of course! Over the last 8 months or so, I’ve been active by making phone calls, twitters and comments but I never had the chance to expand on these thought and feeling. I’d reply to a post from someone, then continue thinking about it, and have nowhere to post those continued thoughts.

So why now? WHY NOT!? I’m in this space with both feet now and have started running with now plans on stopping. It actually feels really good to have a spot to voice my side of the story and not have to wait for someone else to touch on a subject I want before I can comment.

The site as a whole will grow slowly over time, along with the blog, to include services I offer in my freelancing work to clients. You can expect more to appear on that sidebar as I get it done.

The current goal is to post daily on topics ranging from personal web projects (Such as code I’m playing with or my ever-expanding goal to create a portable office) to comments on new and social media topics. I’ll also be responding to other blogs frequently and commenting on media I listen to and watch.

I don’t want to simply talk though and am looking for people to join in! Please don’t hesitate to comment on any post I make or get in touch with me in any other sense. My info can be found on the contact page.
