Forcing Change Whether Change Likes It or Not

The last several months have been pretty much stagnant for my blog, with pretty much any of my interests outside of working or WoW consuming all of my time. I have not been able to give a fair amount of time to my other interests, primarily writing. It is hard to blog when it's so easily forgettable. It is also hard to blog when there isn't anything worth really blogging about.

So why not change that? Today marks a refocus for Critically Correct. I've dabbled with the idea of bringing a focused platform of writing to Critically Correct, although I also felt that would limit my eventual creative freedom. With such a low post count in the past few months, I have no choice. I can reinvigorate Critically Correct and work on writing at the same time (seems to go hand and hand, I know).

This is the intended general focus of Critically Correct that I'm leaning towards:

• Tech-focus: Links to my favorite articles around the web, and a short discussion to go along with it, Slashdot-style. Any tech-related news worth commenting on, or programming findings that interest me. This is the primary future of Critically Correct.
  

• Personal tech stories: Tech-related issues in my life, both personal and professional.

• Creative fiction: I still plan to publish my fiction (of any kind) on Critically Correct when the time is right.

• Updates: Rather than aim to write long, drawn out summaries of my life every month, I intend to put out short updates, almost Twitter-style, of what's going on with me from time to time, just to keep those afar informed.

• General purpose portal: I'm active on Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo!, AIM, and I practically live out of Google (email, docs, calendar, Reader, etc.), and with www.brandonbruno.com registered to me, this blog might as well as serve as a central portal to gather the tidbits from all over, so expect plenty of updates, news, etc. from all these other portals to filter to here.

So with all that said, expect a highly tech-focused blog that (I hope) will not alienate my current readership. Some of my most popular posts have been tech related (Vista, 300, DS 2, Dell Mini, just to name a few). I hope this new focus and format lets me write more often, with better focus, and overall improve my responsiveness and presence on the web.

Stay tuned. B3 out :-)
