Duck & Cover

“It’s been awhile” is how I seem to launch into every blog post of late. My strategy has been the somewhat defensive, “duck* & cover.” If I were to drink the blogging koolaid, I would know that blogging is essential to my business. If only…

So how does the, “duck & cover,” strategy fit into my bigger broader strategy of doing great work on the web? It doesn’t – it just means that I’m scared. I’ve started countless entries only to have them peter out into random generalizations. None of them have been post worthy, not one. If I’m going to write something, it better be good, or else what’s the point?  The web is already so full of noise.

Truthfully, I’ve been busy.  We the Media is working on some amazing stuff that will be unveiled over the next few months.  We also have new additions to our team which helps us fill out our service offering a little more. I’m learning a ton about process development and motivation. Oh and I am a husband now as well, that took up a lot of time – the following picture by an excellent Portland based photographer, Boone Rodriguez.

This site started as a place to share my thoughts and my work. Increasingly, I’ve been privatizing my thoughts and doing less of the nuts & bolts of web design. That leaves me with tales of management and process – so, I choose to “duck & cover” because I am too chicken to write my thoughts, or too private. Haven’t figured out which.

I’ll try to be better – fielding post topics in the comments.  It has come to this.

Thanks to Mr. Boyd for calling me out.
