First off, let me congratulate you for the forthcoming addition to the family (and the fine selection of a wife).

I find that twitter is a lot more personal and soundbitey. It is good for attention grabbing, but blogs have a home for more comprehensive discussion and reflection. See, you got my attention by your twitter post, but this type of response wouldn’t fit in a twitter DM or reply.

I won’t ever abandon my blog, no matter how low the traffic gets. I love blogging, and I believe that the medium holds a lot of potential for connecting people, communities and everyone.

I enjoy reading some more thoughtful updates on your life than Twitter allows for. It’s good to keep up. I’d enjoy some more musings and meditations on whatever you’re paying attention to or thinking about at the moment. More like your recent post on bad habbits.

Thanks guys I appreciate the insight.

I was worried that my self reflection was too navel gazing-ish, and my reviews were filler.

I like the book reviews … I’ve picked up a couple on your suggestion and have not been disappointed.

personally, i’m a fan of the “man in the mirror” stuff…you’ve got a knack for introspection that is actually helpful, and not just navel gazing.

so long as you don’t get too mushy (i realize a baby might soften you up a bit) i’d say the blogosphere is ripe for some more of your personal reflection. maybe the look ahead this year will be a look back….
