Why blog?
My blog:
- is a place where I think, plan and reflect
- forces me to read in order to gather the input I need for my output
- is a place where I play with technology and ideas
- often surprises me
- is a place where I collaborate
- is currently the most satisfying part of my job
- is slightly dangerous
- is compulsive
