Reviving the blog again, again

First of all, I'm pretty sure no one reads this. (Comment if I'm wrong!)

In fact I doubt more than a handful of people ever did read it, even when I was posting more regularly a couple of years ago. So... why bother?

Well, because I want a venue with some possibility of conversation that's more expansive than Twitter, that's not Facebook and not my main business blog. Although one of the things I want to be in conversation about is business — but I want that conversation to be broader than what I feel comfortable with on Eurobubba.

I want a place where I can think out loud (see tagline above) and maybe open the kimono a little wider (eww!) than I can at Eurobubba. I've already discovered to my horror that there are people among my "business" contacts who follow my "personal" Twitter account, where I mostly go on political rants, vent unqualified opinions about the tech I use, and make miscellaneous wisecracks. This blog is in the same vein.

I want a place where I can just ramble on about what I'm trying to accomplish, without being all too transparent on my business blog about how much I'm just making everything up as I go along.

I also want a place where I can experiment with e-commerce products that don't fit within the focus of my main business site. Blogspot is hardly the ideal e-commerce platform, but at this point I'm not ready to start yet another blog or try to move everything over to a Wordpress installation. I understand Ecwid can integrate with Blogger so I'll probably try that.
