Blogging Hiatus

Written on March 1st, 2010 by Shawn Sparks

Last month was the second month in which I did not blog at all in the 20 months I have been blogging. When this occurred to me last night, I just about got out of bed to post something since it was not yet midnight. I respectfully declined and resolved to fix the problem. The past month saw me configuring a new computer about which I still need to blog, getting used to a new job, watching the Olympics, engaging in NHL 10, and simply spending time with friends and family.

My First Blog: Metablogging

Written on June 19th, 2008 by Shawn Sparks

So blogging has started running through my friends like the flu. Fortunately, we’re just puking out a bunch of words instead of our guts. Anyways, I had enough to say in response to my freinds’ blogs that I could write blogs to their blogs. Therefore I thought I should start blogging. So here I am at my first blog and what do I do? I blog about blogging. My question is, is that considered metablogging? Afterall, data about data is metadata. It only seems logical then that blogging about blogging would be considered metablogging.

What do I intend to blog about? I have no idea. As most people who know me know, I am quite an opinionated person. I usually have something to say about anything. So I will likely blog on my thoughts about other people’s blogs. I will probably blog about some different types of technology I’ve been recently playing with. I may write a few blogs as how-to’s. I play a lot of videogames so chances are I will be writing some about those as well. I’m an avid sports fan so there will definitely be a few those (Go Cubbies!). But yeah, I feel like I’ve used the word blog way too many times in the past few minutes so I’m thinking I’ll just stop here for now and hit it again sometime later. Enjoy!
