I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog recently, that is instead of writing new posts! First, I wasn’t happy with the presentation. Today I replaced my current WordPress theme with Cutline. It’s much cleaner. What do you think?

Secondly, when I first decided to begin a blog, I didn’t have a specific topic in mind. Rather I decided to let it roll and see what develops. I’ve struggled with the question of whether or not to split the blog in two with one focused on my professional life and one my personal life. Some folks I know have strict rules to never mix personal business on their professional blog or never mention details of their work life in the context of their personal blog. There can be many reasons for this rationale including the incongruence of personal life and work life (i.e. casting two very different images) and the benefit of defining a focused topic targeted at a specific segment of people. For example, people interested in my family life may not be interested in a deep dive on technology.

Oh well, as I thought more about this and how it applied to my life, I decided I would have only one blog, centered around, well, me. The primary reason? I am who I am and besides, I can barely keep up with one blog!

And that’s all I have to say about that.
