I’m astonished at how many people read this blog, and how many subscribed.
Who the hell are you, and why do you find my rants interesting enough to justify subscribing?
There is a problem though. I started blogging some 4 years ago, at a time where being a French guy put me in the minority. Now in Montreal, “Some French Guy” ain’t nuthin special.
Clearly, the title has got to go. But what should I call this blog? “Daniel’s rants on Code and Politics” or something equally factual and boring? “Great learnings in Experimental Rocket Surgery”?
Ideally, the title should reflect the contents. Being part of that technical conversation is important professionally, maybe it should be in a separate blog? I currently refrain from posting articles that are too technical to avoid boring (most) readers.
In deciding what I want to blog about, I’ve concluded that much of my writing is done via services like Twitter, Delicious and my Google Reader shared items. In some cases, the conversation I care about is happening on other blogs.
So, any ideas? And how many others are having an existential crisis about their blog?
