This all makes me think that we as a community need to do a bit more work to de-emphasize the idea that blogging is strictly about one's personal life. Topical blogs are definitely underrated around here, at least in my opinion. Still, I run my (topical) blog because I want to share the things I find. Maybe that's an option to explore with your blogging: sharing things that catch your eye and fangirling telling the rest of us what makes them so intriguing.
Blogs don't have to be personal. In fact, the most successful ones specialise in particular subjects and the blogger is merely the one who supplies the initial spark to instigate conversation. For instance, your job sounds interesting, especially if you have to explain it to outsiders. A blog built around it is almost guaranteed to do well.
So I'm glad that you're thinking of diversifying from the more personal diary model. Maybe try out a few subjects and then go for the one in which you feel most comfortable.
Kåre Enga in Montana Yeah, these entries take me a lot longer than 10 minutes. But that's what the newsfeed is for. I will do brief check-ins every now and then, don't worry. Sleeping? Yes, but probably not 8 hours. Eating? Maybe while in class. Showering? Well, we'll see.
Congratulations? I hope all goes well with the BootCamp. Remember to take care of you. We'll be here, anxiously awaiting your return! Have fun, and I hope you learn lots!
I like the beginning of Spring and Autumn. Growing up, summer was too hot for me; winter too dreary.
In the tropics (Thailand 16 degrees N; Costa Rica 9 degrees N) the end of Cold Season is Hot! Hot and dry and smoky and may be great at a beach but not for me. The rains are a godsend; but by the end... the grey skies and deluge is a tad too much. In both places that would be March-April and September-October... kinda... sorta... I'd rather be in Montana during those months; but, reality has fangs and bites.
I can get a arctic-summer-high. However, that's not good for my balance either. I had to be careful visiting Norway in summer and winter.
