also a blogger now

Yesterday Grant advocated web blogging to me and I though it could be interesting, since I'm a person technical enough to design and keep a personal web page, but not enthusiastic enough to keep it up-to-date. I saw a couple such things before but dismissed it as a playground for self-important people who have a lot of time to kill.

One of the first uses I thought of for this blog is as a journal of things I may need to check later. For example, last winter I took a few pictures after the first snow in Chicago. The film was developed recently. Unfortunately I can't recall the exact dates of the shooting, therefore the slides can't be labeled clearly with the date and time as preferred by my labeling scheme.

I've tried out several time management tools. I used a journal/diary book in 2003. I bought a desk calendar sometime in 2002, 2003 or 2004. Late 2004 after moving to Chicago I bought a biggish calendar/planner and an expensive jacket for it. None of these was used regularly to form a habit.

Let me try blog now.

The above thoughts on the functions of this blog has proven daydreaming. (May 6, 2007)
