When I was little I was a compulsive journaler. As an adult, though, I haven’t felt the need to write it all down, sketch it all out, and chronicle my every move.
Lately, though, as I’ve gotten in to reading blogs, I’ve noticed that blogging can be like journaling: a way to record a quick thought, observation, or other nugget worth keeping. Social media is definitely changing the communications landscape, and I’m into it, big time.

In their book “Media Rules”, Brian Reich and Dan Solomon write,

“The common belief is that the digital generation is motivated to promote their interest on Web sites and through social networks because of ego. But that is not why we do it. As media digitizes, fragments, and moves closer to the audience, the information, experiences and stuff become more a reflection of the community than a product that is delivered to the audience.”

So here I go again.
But this time, I’ve got a different goal: to chronicle the ideas, images, and stories that seem most reflective of where I am today, as a way to keep in touch with family and friends, and to create something I hope my kids might ultimately enjoy reading.

Please let me know what you think.
