Herein is proposed an experiment.
When I started my Disney Blog back in 2008 I had a few goals in mind:
- To give something back to the Disney online community, from which I continue to derive so much enjoyment
- To encourage me to begin writing again - something which I enjoyed very much during my school days, but had let fall by the wayside.
Almost two years later, Yet Another Disney Blog is plugging along at a modest pace. And although I have more to say there, there are other things I would like to share with my friends, family, and random Internet strangers.
Hence, yet another NON-Disney blog.
How will this blog be different from my other one? Well, I will strive to minimize my mentions of The Mouse, but I'm hoping the differences will be deeper than that. On my Disney blog I try to achieve an economy of words. I also hope to avoid re-creating content which is already being done (better) by others. On these pages I will pay less attention to those concerns -- in the exposed obscurity of the blogosphere.
Well, dear reader, if you've made it this far, then thanks. You are welcome to come along with me, run away screaming, or anything in between. They say you should dance as if no one is watching. In similar spirit, I shall try to blog as if no one's reading (which could very well turn out to be the case).
Let's see what happens next.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on blog 2! And thanks for the kind and funny comments over at my blog.
Like you, one of my reasons for starting my blog was to get back into writing. I had other motives as well: to take advantage of a format that would allow visual enhancements (still learning most of that bit), to chronicle our life so that my daughter could look back at more than just snapshots and the odd video but to really see what her father was thinking about (a great deal is Disney, but not exclusively) and to express some thoughts and opinions publicly just to see where "some of them go". Given the number of blogs out there - as you put it "the exposed obscurity of the blogosphere" (that sums it up brilliantly, BTW) - that we ever stumble across a blog that we haven't either been directed to or found by a search engine is probably statisticly daunting. So here is to much success in finding an audience; you've already got at least one!
Hi Chuck,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
FWIW -- I thought I had configured blogger to email me if anyone ever commented here, but it turns out I hadn't.
As you can see, this blog has gotten off to a slow start, but I did some non-Disney travelling this summer that should eventually result in some new content.
