I'm baaaaaaack!

I'm finally getting back to blogging regularly . . . starting now.

I attended the O'Reilly Tools of Change for Publishers conference in NYC this week and got fired up about all the things we can do in publishing to step into the future. I feel optimistic that we can put these things into practice where I work. It probably won't be easy, but I like the feel of this challenge.

I think I have turned a corner about feeling that the printed book is more valuable than other forms of literature and communication. I have decided to embrace the technology instead of looking askance at it from afar. It's not that I've ever been afraid of technology; I just didn't want to dive into it. To me it seems that it can pose a great distraction to reflection and living life; it seems that one can get caught up in talking about living or reading about it instead of just living. However, I do see how blogging can clarify one's own thinking.

Also, as Mike Hyatt mentioned in his session on blogging Wednesday, we blog because we have something to say. I do believe I have some things to say. And I hope that what I write may be helpful to someone else along the way.

Look for me regularly here . . . I've got some thoughts to share.
