I think may start to use this blog as my whining avenue. Fair warning.
I don't like to write. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy creating content (or text, or words, or phrases, or sentences, or whatever else you may want to call it), the activity of writing is something I find rather annoying. The fact is that my brain goes through 200 different ideas (sentences) before I can finish typing 5 of them. So it gets frustrating.
But you may have already noticed this, 'thanks' to my obvious lack of writing over the past few months (with some exceptions, granted). The truth is, when you think of it outside the proverbial box, there really isn't that much news in this mobile and tech sphere, it's all mostly noise. And when there is news, I usually am good at finding someone who has done a good job of summing up my beliefs and thoughts on the topic, and so I link to such posts on Twitter.
On the rare occasion that this doesn't happen, I may write a short series of tweets describing my attitude towards a news item, and leave it at that. Fact is, the only time I even consider writing something longer is when I'm outraged by something that happened or I read. Which is why I had to expand my ever-reaching blog network once again and add a dedicated rant blog to it. Which I expect will become the most updated of all my blogs for all the good reasons above.
I'm a big fan of thinking and analyzing news and events. Of putting things in their required context. Of making connections between events or trends. I would say I generally like to create content, but mostly spoken content. When I say I enjoy conversations, I mean that literally, not in the social-media-hyped way.
I have been thinking about doing a podcast, on and off, for more than a year now. Maybe one day something will happen that will finally make me act on that. I'm not sure I want to be on camera yet, but an audio-only start would do, I think. What has (in my mind, at least) hindered my effort so far was that I really don't want to do a podcast alone. I find that a bit silly. I may experiment with this on services such as AudioBoo, but I don't think it's a good long term play.
I have a few people in mind that would make great co-hosts, or even guests, on a hypothetical podcast. I just haven't asked any of them yet. I'm shy like that. Maybe one day I will.
Time will tell.
In the mean time, if you're interested in my opinions, I can't urge you enough to follow me on Twitter (see sidebar for link). Or you could subscribe to this RSS feed, which is a combined feed of all my blog posts and tweets (and hopefully it will work - fingers crossed for this 'hack').
