A View of the Horizon

So I'm back from Santa Fe, after two 10+ hour days of workshops and conferences.  But no slowing down yet: I have an interesting thing happening today at work (more on that tomorrow), another post-show of Einstein's Gift tonight, family coming into town for the next 5 days, and even a visit to the Invisible Film Series (preparing for my presentation in January...)

I also learned a bit about blogging over the last few days, when a colleague sent me a piece about blogger motivations, by none other than Scott Adams, writer of Dilbert:

When I see news stories about people all over the world who are experiencing hardships, I worry about them, and I rack my brain wondering how I can make a difference. So I decided to start my own blog. That way I won't have time to think about other people.

People who are trying to decide whether to create a blog or not go through a thought process much like this:

1. The world sure needs more of ME.
2. Maybe I'll shout more often so that people nearby can experience the joy of knowing my thoughts.
3. No, wait, shouting looks too crazy.
4. I know - I'll write down my daily thoughts and badger people to read them.
5. If only there was a description for this process that doesn't involve the words egomaniac or unnecessary.
6. What? It's called a blog? I'm there!

This is what I have to deal with every day, folks -- from colleagues.  Who would have thought?

Hah! That's what you get for badgering them to read it!
