Weblog entry:
- Don’t wanna be a thought leader.
-
Not that it’s even remotely in danger of happening, but I don’t want to be a thought leader.
I don’t want to be your A-list blogger, bookmarked by millions and adored by dozens. I don’t want to draw that line in the sand, that little border around my own little intellectual fiefdom. I don’t want to stand on my soapbox, tell you all what makes this weblog a weblog — or worse, what makes your weblog a weblog. I don’t want to make this weblog more about the technologies that power it than the words within it. I don’t want to contribute to anybody’s signal-to-noise ratio (except my own, of course).
I want to have fun with this. I want to write in a vacuum, as though my referrer logs and Technorati don’t exist. I want to meet cool people that aren’t (always) painfully bored by what I have to say. I want to add new names to my blogroll, add more sites to my daily stops — to learn, to challenge, to discuss.
You see, we write between the
me, me, me
and theyou, you, you
. I feel that the best sites happen in the between, and nowhere else.That’s where I want to be; bear with me, for I’m still learning how to get there.
There’s a WordPress issue that’s currently preventing old comments from displaying correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully we’ll be back online soon.
