Lately I’ve been pondering over my blog and what good it is to the world. I’ve read blogs from developers at Google, from CEO’s of hosting companies, even the Rantings of a BYU Student and it seems like everyone has something to contribute to the greater knowledge of the world. What exactly have I done here? Other than create a place for family and close friends to check in on me without having to pick up the phone, What have I done? Almost ALL of the search engine traffic I get is from people looking for information on really quick boy haircuts. And even those people come away thinking “huh?” to themselves. I could create a place where design principles are preached to the designerly challenged masses. I could create a place where family values are heralded and inspirational stories are told. I could create a place where the marvels of the internet and technology are explored. I could create a place where design, technology, and marketing are analyzed in relation to today’s business world. I could create a place where the teeming hordes of digital camera users could learn some basic principles to keep them from ruining everything they capture in their lenses. But what do I choose to do? I choose to ramble about nothings. I guess they must be important or I wouldn’t ramble about them. Hmmm, I’ll have to check into that logic there… (note to self [curiously posted on my non-private blog]: check into logic of ramblings being important just because I rambled about them) As I read back through my posts, they don’t even read that coherently. Unless you already know a little bit about what I am doing in my life, they don’t make much sense at all. What’s the point? Am I just adding to the countless piles of hard drives on the Internet that are filled with nothings? (and can “nothing” actually be used in the plural form?). There you go Grant, how bout that?
