Competition for mind-share

At the encouragement of a friend, I have decided to give blogging another try. I recall that daily writing as a high-school senior helped sharpen my thinking; and I hope it will again now.

I have changed the subtitle of this blog from "ideas scrapbook" (where I was using it as a bookmarking tool) to "competition for mind-share". Resolved: we must publicize nascent ideas clearly so that they can be criticized. This may be one personal blog out of thousands, but I hope to bring my own brand of logic, judgement, compassion to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the blogging universe. I welcome comments.

If writing in this blog sharpens my thinking and makes me a better person, then it will have been successful. If this blog collects a significant following, then it will have been wildly successful.
