Another Friday Five (Black Friday)
This week's Friday Five:
1. Explain why you started to journal/blog.
It seemed like a cool idea at the time. I was still working at the consulting firm, and developing a low-end content management software, so I needed test material. I'd kept a paper journal back in my college days. Reading it makes me shudder more than reading even all of the last few years of these. Should say something about my life, I guess. Maybe it's time to burn those.
2. Do people you interact with day to day or family members know about your journal/blog? Why or why not?
Well, my friends outside of work know. (In fact, Jay kept saying "I READ THE GIGA! AND I READ THE NALA!" last night as we were talking. He was a leeetle drunk. But, no, they don't know, which is fine with me, because sometimes, even though I try to maintain the anonymity of the people I gripe about, they would still probably resent some things.
3. Do you have a theme for your journal/blog?
What do you think? However, I do have a few "themed" blogs. One for all the weird emails I used to get at my Hotmail account; one for tracking my weight gain/loss, calorie counts, etc; one for web worker frustrations (that I might as well give up, since the other two people never post)...
4. What direction would you like to have your journal/blog go in over the next year?
I suppose it would be nice to clean things up. Get my galleries in order. Get my archives back up. All that good stuff. And, of course, get through a good redesign.
5. Pimp five of your favorite journals/blogs.
