One more guideline…

Oh yeah, I almost forgot one more guideline. As stated in a previous post, I’m going to stick with a conversational writing style. I can’t stand formal writing, and I know that I won’t keep up with this if I move in that direction. When someone writes formally, I feel like they are trying to almost disguise that they “a human actually wrote this.” I like humans too much to disguise my being one. I’m probably one of the few people I know that went into computers because they like humans.

My blogging guidelines…for now…

I’ve never blogged before, so I’m sure it will be a learning process. My guidelines will change as I learn what works and what doesn’t. However, here is what I am starting out with:

The general theme will be the mind, the computer, and connections (both potential and actual) between them. I will try to refrain from using overly technical terminology from either discipline without explaining it. However, I WILL use technical terminology because will allow those who wish to further explore a given subject, the most important tools to do so…keywords. My content probably won’t be too controversial, but it might be controversially technical. I pride myself on being able to communicate complex technical subjects to anyone whose interested. Plus, I’ll be happy to field any questions along the way. Because of this, I doubt a subject’s technical complexity will ever prevent me from discussing it.

This blog will basically be a means by which I can publicly explore a subject (or domain) that is a strong passion of mind. My hope is that it bears fruit in terms of software and software frameworks that have value to people, schools, businesses, etc… Once I get comfortable with Web 2.0 (the part of the web with collaborative content from users), and what it has to offer, I plan on making this exploration more community driven.
