What's the point of all this? Like many bloggers, I've been wondering what the purpose of my weblog should be. And I'm currently focused on two issues. First, i want to tell stories here. Good stories, stories that make you laugh, and stories that make you think. I know that I have a long way to go on this, but there's nothing like real experience to help me improve. Second, I've been thinking about the difference between bloggers who are very prolific, and bloggers who simply forward on other weblog content. And I've come to the conclusion that both are worthy approaches. Commentary, either sparse or flowing, is the information source, while logs of interesting websites are information routers. Jon Udell wrote about this just last week. Reading his perspective helped me crystalize my own. So in the short term, I'll be posting about various things as I think they merit routing, and I'll comment on things when I have something additional to say. As I approach the ending of my UoPhx studies, I'm looking forward to having more time to comment as well as route. 1:13:43 PM
