Here is a good blog that reminds me of my colleagues at M5 Networks. Just recently, our CFO Gary was pontificating that I should write about something people care about.
Talk about throwing stones when you live in a glass house – you can read his random thoughts here. I actually like Gary, but when someone who wrote a memoir at age 30 tells you to change the subject to something more interesting, you have to take it with a grain of salt.
I know that I have a fairly geeky technology-business bent on the things that interest me. My wife tells me its boring all the time. Yet there is no shortage of this techno-business content out there – I consume it all the time. And since people generally don’t know what I’m talking about when I share what I’ve learned reading all of this techno-business babble around the web, I think that there may be some value in continuing to spout off and spread the word.
Will I get published in Esquire? Unlikely.
I do believe though that speaking up, just like the movies, is better than being afraid to speak up.
I also believe that the courage to throw your thoughts out into public is not in conflict with someone thinking that this is boring, inane or unworthy. I still want to write about it. At least I’m not writing about unicorn sightings.
Seth’s Blog: Not for me hits this nail right on the head.
PS – Gary, I hope you like the subject of this blog better. And for the record, Princess Lea’s name is spelled “Leia.”
