The Occasional Occurence

Andrew recently brought up something that I blogged/commented a long time ago but unfortunately can't locate; the gist of it being that I felt the need to pull all my blogging ventures (which at the time was two blogs) under one digi-roof.

So why do I feel the need to do that?

I didn't want to compartmentalize myself. It is really easy to make yourself into whoever you want to be on the web, but I have become convinced that in all aspects of my life I need to be genuine; that includes my online persona - this blog. Towards that effort, a while ago I brought my programming blog and my, um, everything else blog together. Now the online representation of Christian the writer of random things coexists with Christian the programmer.

I suppose it really doesn't make that huge of a difference but it was something important that I needed to do. To genuinely present my thoughts, my interests, myself to the handful of close friends and bizzare stalkers who browse this site every now and then.

For a number of you, this blog is the only channel through which your understanding of me is refreshed. For others, it is just one of many. I hope it is cohesive.

It might be boring.

It might be infrequent.

It might be unexpected.

But like Evander Holyfied, it's "The Real Deal."
