what / about

Blogumentary is a “…slick and well-researched” (Minneapolis Star Tribune) documentary about why we (and of course the author, Chuck Olsen) blog. It is 1 hour long so did not have time to watch it till the end. However the first minutes are most entertaining and the whole seem to be a reflexion about blogging in the wider context of Web2.0 (where media such as videos and pictures can be exchanged exchanged on a large scale). Will update when I find a moment to watch it. (from Boing Boing)

Why do I blog this? The title of this post is a reference of a particular technique of blogging which consists in adding a why do I blog this section to each post - there are many examples but I first noticed this technique on pasta and vinegar. Do not want to argue but it seems to me that content can speak for itself, and that the global multi faceted image a blog gives of the - information - life of an individual is one of the most interesting aspects of the activity. Likewise I can hardly understand geek blogs; while I am sure of being one one, a strong interest for evolving technologies and the way to harness it - I guess that’s my take at a definition of a geek - can only be related to everyday life and to many, too many, other preocupations).
