Part III: Blogs, Podcasting and Vlogs September 27, 2006 When I start out these series, I seem to have an idea in hand about how to organize them, which, invariably, gets rearranged in the course of writing. So, here’s the post about Blogs, and their follow ons: podcasting and vlogging. Blogging is old hat. Such is life.

I’ve been thinking about the purpose of this blog in my life for the last few months. I started blogging specifically on technology just over 6 years ago, took about a year hiatus in 2005-2006, and have been writing consistently here ever since. Was this blog a success? Perhaps you can tell me in comments.

Mostly, because I get to read blogs by people that aren’t on my list of feeds I read regularly. SOX First, which is a new blog to me, and focuses on Sarbanes-Oxely compliance, asks whether nonprofits hold the ethical high ground. Read the blog entry. And I get to highlight the work of some of my favorite bloggers, too.
