A lot of people have been linking to Mamamusing's post you may ask yourself "how did i get here?", wherein she talks about when and why she started blogging.
It's something that I've been thinking about as well, as it is the eve of my Blogiversary.
Two years ago, on a Thursday at 2.30 in the morning, I bit the bullet and set up an account over at Blogspot. Seemed like a fun thing to do, have somewhere to put my little screeds and ramblings on "Reading. Computers. Art. Music. Insomnia." (my first tagline) out there for all the world to see.
However, I'd been laid off about six weeks beforehand from a job I loved, and thoughts of career weighed heavily on my mind. It didn't take long for work-related things to appear, and it left me frequently conflicted about which way the blog was going to go.
To complicate things, when other blogs started linking to me, everyone seemed to put me in a different category. Some see this as a business or technology blog, while others seem to enjoy the more, er, "eclectic" things that I link to.
Anyway, I think I've made a decision, although it'll probably take me a few weeks to implement it.
And thanks to all of you who've been reading, linking, and commenting. I probably wouldn't have lasted this long without you.

Happy Blogiversary!

I must admit limited interest in your business links, having dropped by originally for a BB Gabor mp3, there is always something of interest here.
Many years ago I realized that it was not the destination that was important, it was the ride on the way that shouldn't be missed.
You have reached a crossroads, I along with many others (I'm sure) will be waiting and watching the turn you take.
All the best.

It'll be interesting to see what you decide. No one can categorize my blog either. And I like it that way. I'm covering the gray space, the connections in between things, the gaps. Curious if you can expand and blog more on your process when you do decide. Do you feel pulled personally towards one category now?
