Last Blog Post for Class

Will I continue to post to the blog after class is over? I don't know, maybe. I like the idea of blogging, yet I haven't really embraced it completely. To keep the subject matter school and computer industry related was fine, but I haven't decided to blog entertaining and academic posts worthy of views by many.

That would take a commitment of time I haven't accepted, yet. It would also take courage on my part, to post my interests, opinions, and views, that could be revealing and may or may not be agreeable to a potential employer. Which subjects I comment on and how much to comment is still to confusing to me. Current events and politics, for example, can be very intriguing, but also can be very polarizing.

Although I am passionate about news in general, I wouldn't want to alienate or discourage any potential employers or contacts, by expressing views which could potentially be held against me. So until I decide to become a hack political commentator, my posts will mostly be about easier, more mundane subjects. Maybe games, music, travel, etc. I certainly like the journalism aspect of blogging and will be proud to continue blogging.

Catching Up

So Thanksgiving was great. Eight hour drive to Rochester, only six hours drive on the way back. Skipped Black Friday. Missed Cyber Monday. Tuesday is back to normal as usual with my blog post.

Flash websites. Some are pretty cool. They seem to be better suited for less business-transaction oriented websites, though I could be mistaken. I'm curious to see if more creative flash type websites become fast enough to be practical and useful. In the meantime less is more.

Wikipedia is my new best friend. All though we were well acquainted, since I am now a contributor to Wikipedia we have been spending a lot of time together lately. Wikipedia has been a little fussy with all the formatting to create new articles, but I'm sure we will work things out. Strict adherence to Wikipedia guidelines has been the challenge to figure out.
