I was checking recent tweets over at Twitter when I came across this post by Trula:

working on blogs: setting topics for rest of nov and will write rest of this week’s tonight

I tweeted back my interest in her method she replied:

@WillBrown: I find writing posts in advance helpful & timesaving. it’s a tip @problogger had on his blog a while back

Small world. I’ve been subscribed to Darren Rowse’s Problogger blog for some time now, but due to the extraordinary amount of feeds I’m subscribed to, I haven’t read it recently. I now follow him on Twitter.

Darren’s, and Trula’s, idea of planning out blog posts weeks in advance has never crossed my mind. I think it is because blogging, to me, has always been so now and immediate. You’re supposed to write about things going on in the here and now. Not something you thought about three weeks prior.

Thinking about it now, it does make sense. Not every topic has to be timely. A good topic can be topical even though you may have thought about it weeks prior.

Thanks, Trula!

Oh…follow me on Twitter.

Ok, I admit it…I’m trapped in “The Social”.

I blog. I podcast. I Digg. I Tweet. I burn feeds. I tag. I trackback.

All this socializing has drawn me out of the “real-world” into the virtual.

I read a blog, that I can’t remember the location of, earlier this week that offered that this removal from the real-world is not actually a withdrawal from society, but an evolution of the way we interact with the world. Gone are the images of nerds sitting in a cold, dark corner of the basement isolated from society.

This is part of the new society. The new media.

Everything in moderation is my continual mind-set in this thinking.

What do you think?

Ok, I’ve started a poetry blog here at WillBrownOnline.com.

I’ve had them before, but they’ve never really gone anywhere. I’ve posted a poem or two then just given up. In fact, I just remembered “Will the Poet” (I used to own the domain name).

Well, now that I’m hosting my poetry at my hopefully permanent online home, I will always be reminded that I need to continue writing…at least for now.

Check it out: Will’s Poetry Blog

Although “Will Brown is Online” currently sounds like a good title for my personal blog, I’m not so sure it will remain that way for long.

Anyway, welcome to my personal blog. It will be the personal face of what WillBrownOnline.com will evolve into. I’m not 100% sure of what that will be, but we’ll be exploring that purpose over the life of this blog. In general, its going to be the central hub of “all things me”. A portal of sorts into the various web projects that I am and will be involved with.

At some point, WillBrownOnline.com will cease to redirect to this blog and instead give the visitor succinct choices between a variety of destinations. For example, there could be a “podcasts” image/link that would take you to the current list of podcasts that I’m working on. Or a “consulting” image/link that will take you to the different podcasting production services that I can provide.

But, for now, this will simply be a blog to share whatever I choose without limitation. This is something that breaks me free of the constraints of blogging on my current podcasts sites, Cloudy Day Art and The Jesus Juice Review (which is dangerously close to being canceled as a project).

Feel free to comment and provide feedback anytime.
