There’s a strong culture of blogging at RC, along with some semi formal infrastructure for encouraging blogging while there, so hopefully you won’t shut down prose completely :)
Thanks for the encouragement – I did hear about a blog aggregator. I think I will blog, but I was just relieving myself of the duty ;-)
One thing I noticed is that my posts tend to fall into at least 2 categories: “pedagogical” ones that make some kind of point, and “work in progress” ones. The latter are generally not as popular, and I only get a little feedback on them.
And I am going to be learning, so I probably won’t have as many “points” to make. It’ll be more exploration. Explaining something to others does help you learn something, but doing that in person is just as effective.
So at the very least I will switch modes, to something more informal. As mentioned, I’m going to write a blog post which lists a bunch of things I didn’t publish, so feel free to leave feedback there on which ones are interesting :-)
