For several weeks now I have been thinking about why I blog. I had been thinking about it a lot, when Jeremiah raised the same question in his blog. Then someone I work with asked me why I do it? Finally someone that often tries to post comments to my blog asked, just what were the rules for my blog. So it seems like I had to answer the question.

In some ways it seems sort of silly for me to blog, since I don’t get much traffic here. I’ve made 9¢ since I’ve started the Google ad program. That proves my traffic point and that I am not into this for the money. Also my posts are very irregular in subject matter and timing, so even if I got some traffic, it would be hard to get a following.

So what’s my answer? Because it’s there. I didn’t invent that phrase, but it works for me. I do this because I want to have a channel for experiments. I want to experiment with the discipline, or lack of, making posts. I want to experiment with the science of the internet. I want to experiment with business models that are constantly evolving on the net. I want to experiment with the art and design of websites. I want to experiment with an alternate method of reaching my friends. I want to experiment with an outlet for my thoughts.

And you know what? It really works….for me. If it doesn’t work for you, I apologize. This site may seem scattered, irregular and even petulant at times. That is the nature of this specific trial. Is that a silly philosophy? Maybe, but I’m having fun and so far the experiment is a success. So thanks for being patient and sticking with me and humoring me too.

p.s. What are the rules for accepting posts on my blog? There aren’t any. It’s my fucking blog, I pay the web hosting service and I get to make up the rules on the fly. If you don’t like it, please take your toys and go home.
