Or perhaps I should say “Why I don’t feel like blogging anymore” because I was never much of a blogger.

In the past few years I sculpted this blog into a place where I could improve my ability to express my ideas clearly. The act of writing ideas out and then clarifying/defending them made me realize how important it was to share what was in my head. I guess this was my way of having strong opinions, weakly held - I really wanted to see what the public would think and slug it out if someone challenged me without a good argument.

However as I *got better(?)* at this - it seemed like I was really just padding my ideas with redundant structure and I began to not to express anything at all because it never really seemed worth it. Like putting a skittle between two hamburger buns - that makes for one shitty meal. Well then came Twitter and 3,000+ updates later and I’m still going strong. It’s not the Twitter product/brand that I like but the need to form an idea/expression into 140 characters. It forces me to express only that pure atomic idea. I now find myself thinking in tweets regardless of how big or small the idea is - which is what I wanted from the get-go.

So to sum this up (see? wtf do I need a summary for?) - I think my needs are being met elsewhere - in a more dynamic area - more exposure, more interaction. So what of this blog? My new plan in life is to drop the priority of things that I don’t have clear goals with. So for now on - follow me on Twitter. Say Hi, challenge me, question me, try to make me laugh, join in on my daily praises of how kick-ass jQuery is or how good Microsoft is at delivering big bags of DO-NOT-WANT. Even though my Tweets are mostly silly/vulgar/rant-ish there are a few conceptual gems in there but mostly I think it’s the best way for you to understand me and what’s going on in my head.

Smell ya later blog.
