I got the big sword of Damocles out from over my head today by getting a project done that I can talk about probably later this month. Now I have the small dagger of Damocles but that should be taken care of by the middle of next week. Then at the end off next week is LunaCon.

There was an interesting interview on NPR this morning about privacy and blogging.
From the summery at www.npr.org
Steve Inskeep talks to a 22-year-old graduate student about why he posts so much of his personal information online. Jonthon Coulson says he doesn't consider silly profiles, political views and biographical data as private or personal. He actually savors feedback from his online
I heard this while waking up this morning and had to agree with most of what he had to say. I find it funny that he thought that his blog might hamper his ability to get a job. I can't think of anything I have said that would make an employer questions whether they should hire me. I write it for me and my friends and family. This is probably the only time in my adult life that my family has really been able to keep up with me since I moved out. Someone once commented that this is will be a great thing for Caroline to read when she is older. I am of two minds about that. On the one hand I think it would be neat to leave her a record of a time that she may or may not remember but I wonder if it is going to be information overload for her considering that I tend to do about a post a day and many of them have Caroline info in them. It would give her some sort of picture about her mother if something should happen to me while she was still very young. I am going to continue to blog and let the population at large read about what is going on with me. I do agree with Mr. Coulson on one thing. I do like feedback.

I am grateful for this blog and all its varied readers.

I'll have to listen to NPR today on my way home, they rebroadcast in the afternoon here.

Blogging and employers can be a problem. Especially if you have a tendency to complain about your current employer in that blog and it's a public one. Iknow from first hand experience there.

However, the solution is simple, just make it "friend's Only". Problem solved.

True. And as you know I have done so on some entries but others I leave out there because I would be surprised if anyone pays attention to me.

And you can understand why I chuckle, reading the ICG mailing list today about how people just can't understand why blogging is so popular.

Yep. Some people are not cut out to blog and others are. I think I am.

Has anyone ever hunted down this Damocles guy and asked him why he keeps leaving edged weapons in inconvenient places? I mean, honestly!
