As Chico Marx might say, why not a chicken or a horse?
Any number of reasons, some personal, some professional. We all need an outlet of some kind, and in the modern world, that means appearing on the web somewhere. If it’s not on Google, it doesn’t exist, right? If there is a purpose, it’s mostly to allow myself the opportunity to think things through in a place where I can’t do any damage, and in a place where the four of you who stumble across this will swiftly put me in my place when I am wrong.
As inevitably, I will be.
The work environment rarely leaves room for reflection and examination. Too often, no matter what the job, there’s such a rush to accomplish that we don’t stop to think about what we’re doing and why. Have we looked at all the angles? Have we truly understood the consequences of our choices? I hope to use this space to do that thinking, and if anyone reads this thing, to discuss with you the questions that come up.
I make no promises – this is as much an experiment as it is an intellectual exercise. I’m new to WordPress, so bear with me as I learn the ins & outs. But if you like what you read, let me know, OK?
