Blog Full Disclosure Statement Dear Blogosphere: One of the topics of conversation that came up in last night's great Geek Dinner with Robert Scoble is how a person presents his or herself and establishes a virtual identity with blogs. Should a person have one weblog where all thoughts, opinions, passions and ideas are presented? Or, should a person divide their blogs into categorys that can be viewed as a whole or by category? Or, should they have separate blogs for different parts of their lives? I went the different blog route. I do not want folks to have to sift through what to them may seem like noise to get to the content (the signal) that they want. Also, I do not want folks to be turned off on what I present on one topic because they disagree with an unrelated opinion. The down side is I may not be presenting an honest digital identity of who I am. So, for the sake of honesty and full disclosure, here it all is: My Family Weblog This where I chronicle my family and personal life. This is a digital journal of the folks who are nearest and dearest to me. My Geek Blog This is where I write about my work and passion for emerging technology in higher education. The Edupodder Blog This is where is host content specific to podcasting in higher education and content related to the sessions I teach in the Center for Faculty Development and Support at SJSU. This often crosses over with my Geek Blog. I am concerned that dual posting between this and my Geek Blog may happen too often and may dilute the topic conversations on each. The Black and Blue Blog This is where you can read bicycle news and information related to the bike club I am active in, the Almaden Cycle Touring Club. I am the publisher of their monthly newsletter and I use this blog as a club news source and a place to coordinate production of that newsletter. My Opinion Blog This is where I hide my opinions of everything from movies and wine to politics, religion and relationships. If you disagree, I respect your opinion. So, there it is Blogosphere, that is who I am. For the sake of full disclosure, I am posting this to all my blogs! ~Steve 8:11:39 AM    comment []
