I started a blog so I could join the perpetual conversation. Recent innovations make it much easier to participate (take blogging itself), and the current culture surrounding online conversation encourages free exchange and sheer human dialogue. Rather than meticulously craft each post (something it's hard to find the time for), it's important to post often, and post freely. I plan to incorporate that mindset, and to participate in the conversation more frequently going forward.

I've also encountered other issues. I want to post thoughts and opinions on noteworthy current events, but I also want to share longer pieces on the bigger picture. I want to post news as it happens, but follow up later with a more comprehensive opinion. I want to write for a technical audience, but I want everyday folk to glean something too. Doing all this cohesively is a challenge.

In the coming weeks, I'll experiment with better presentation on my blog. And I invite your comments and suggestions. Use the comment form and participate!

I decided that once I start talking to the world, there's no turning back. This is only the beginning.
