A week ago I had no blog and now I'm writing three of them. "What the hell has happened?" you ask, with a puzzled expression on your face. The same thing that always happens - I become immersed in the things that I take on. I begin to see applications and pathways expanding from the original ideas that I'm exposed to. This is the way I always do things. It's the way I do software; the way I became a sculptor and moldmaker, and then a writer and film-maker. The fact is that when I am interested - I am really interested. The idea of a blog only had meaning to me as something abstract, until I was given the assignment of putting one together for class. Part of the assignment was to make a couple of posts to the blog within a couple of weeks. I know, I know I'm the overachiever sort. I simply can't help myself. I took that couple of postings to mean posting at least once a day if I could find something to post about. Clearly, I have no problem in that area. I should have known by the evidence at hand: I spend too many nights unable to sleep because of so many ideas clamoring for my attention.
Who knows where this will lead?
Perhaps in a couple of years I'll find myself standing in front of a group of anonymous people saying these words, "hello - my name is Jon and I (see me - pulling myself up and squaring my shoulders - in the face of making the terrible admission I'm about to make) . . .am a blogger. "
