Yes, this is another blog about digital things that you may think is unnecessary, narcissistic or just plain boring. But whatever, I’m doing it anyway.
Some rationale
I have been an internal-thinker-type-of-person all of my digital career. I have (I hope) provided plenty of valuable insights and thought into each service I’ve helped make and role I have had, but I tend to keep that local.
I now want to experiment pushing that thought outwards and seeing what that brings for me personally and find out if anyone finds any use in it.
With my PM party hat (PMPH) on, I’d like to set some sort of ambitions for this.
Ambitions
- 0% moaning posts
- 1-2 monthly posts
- Make ’em laugh
- Care
What does it all mean?!
0% moaning posts
I find myself, in particular when talking about HE digital, moaning. This fuels more moaning, which then annoys me. I do not want this to be a venting space. I want to be critical but optimistic and useful.
1-2 monthly posts
Look… if I say I want to push thoughts out, I will. Surely I have enough thoughts to publish monthly? I think I do, even if they’re short and to-the-point.
Make ’em laugh
I want this to be at least a bit entertaining. Think Sitebulb release rants with a little less swearing.
Care
Contrary to some people’s opinion, I really care about what I do and what digital should be. Shitty digital services make life unnecessarily tiresome and impractical for good, honest people who are forced to use them. I know it doesn’t have to be like that and I want to reflect that in what I write.
