    Thinking about how to share

    My life is full.  Mostly it is private: my home life with my wife and 3 year old daughter?  Private.  My work?  Very private.  So what is the point of blogging?  I am hoping that I can sand off some of my insularity and put some thoughts up here. 
     
    In the past I've provided three types of blogging:
    1. Generally sparse and not very interesting.
    2. The time I ranted about (at?) Cory Doctorow saying (incoherently) that a country should be able to use a Microsoft/foreign/common product to distribute and manipulate public assets and that to deny that was, well, wrong.  This resulted in a small amount of traffic, huge by my normal standards, about 40K uniques over a few months.  I promised a follow up but never could come up with something that would be helpful to anyone.  I set the conversation up with unsupportable framing and with a nasty tone and there is no apparent way to rescure the conversation from that. 
    3. The time Libby was born at 6 months on the dot and we lived in hospitaland for months.  This generated about equal traffic as the stupid post described above and lasted longer.

    I'm considering how to deliver a fourth type, something regular, valuable and unsensational.

    Best,

    Cort
