Most of the positive comments have been along the lines of &#8220;Its good to see that you&#8217;ve started a blog!&#8221; and &#8220;I&#8217;m glad that the blog is a source of creative output for you&#8221;. The negative comments have been varied, too much simple linking that can be found on any number of sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/\">Digg<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/reader.google.com\/\">Google Reader<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/\">Kotaku<\/a> etc. &#8216;Oh, I thought it was going to be a blog about you and Amy&#8217;, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d just like to take a moment to give you a better look at my initial idea for this blog;<br \/>The plan is to post about things that I find interesting, exciting, fun or annoying. The fact that I do tend to read quite a few tech\/gaming blogs will mean that I will be posting about material that is readily available from many sources. In the spirit of working with constructive criticism, I will be endeavouring to add my own spin to these sort of articles in the future in order to avoid simply linking other sites. I would like to do some product\/game\/book\/movie reviews at some stage.<\/p>\n<p>I also plan to post about my life with Amy and what we&#8217;re up to, but I&#8217;ve yet to decide how to tackle this. I&#8217;m not sure how comfortable I\/we are with the idea of posting about our personal life and events. I will make a decision about this in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>I should also note that I read a lot of webcomics. Subsequently, I will most likely be linking to ones that I find particularly funny. As has been evidenced, <a href=\"http:\/\/penny-arcade.com\/\">Penny Arcade<\/a> is by far my favourite. Expect to see more as we move on.<\/p>\n<p>The long and the short of it is that this blog is quite simply a list of thoughts that crossed my mind. If I see something cool, I&#8217;ll post about it. If something fun or interesting happens in my day-to-day life, I&#8217;ll post about it. If I do something that other people might benefit from, I&#8217;ll post about it.<br \/>If I have an idea about how something should be done, I&#8217;ll post about it. Actually, I probably won&#8217;t post about it. I don&#8217;t know that I have the cojones required to authoritatively post an opinion on something and be able to back up my thoughts in the comments. We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p>Also, please keep the (constructive) comments coming. It is quite common for your peers, friends and family to know you better than you know yourself. If there is something that you&#8217;d like to see me post about, please let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogging is interesting.
