In Which Dan Starts His Blog

I've been thinking that I need more practice in presenting my ideas in a clear and effective manner. I have also been getting more and more interested in the productivity blogs I've been reading, such as lifehacker. Also, I have been looking for a mouthpiece through which I can comment on music.

This blog will hopefully fill all three desires. I plan on using it for two main purposes 1) To point out information and ideas that I have become interested in, to provide links for readers who may also be interested in the information, and to provide my commentary on the aforementioned information and ideas. 2) To document experiments in productivity which I plan to undertake.

I believe that by making this information public(), I will be able to, in some small way, guilt myself into keeping commitments. If I say I'm going to do something, and I don't do it, I will also be letting down a hypothetical readership, and no-one wants that. Also I will be forced to make my ideas as clear as possible, and the connections between them clear as well, because I won't simply be writing for myself.

My goal at this point is to produce one 'essay' each week or so. I will probably add shorter snippets at random times as well, when I find especially interesting links.

We'll see how this goes!
