sure thing get off you ass and write someting useful. take all the usless academic knowledge and create somethings to share with the world. the more diverse the better. rant, howtos, fiction, whatever. oh, and nag all the other closet writers out there to do the same.

I don't usually comment because I generally don't have a lot to say. But I'd love to hear more of your thoughts and your ideas about various things. Be opinionated! :) Ask your readers for their opinions, too. I find that's the best way to get people talking -- not by being controversial neccessarily, but by sharing opinions. :)

/me misses the darren journal.

Seriously though, you don't want to fall and turn into every other blog out there that sits and posts random links or makes offhand comments every entry.

Of course, this is your site, and you get to choose what you write about, and how much of yourself you want to reveal to the world, but I'd love to see more tutorials and a return (and finish?) of "_"

I dunno, I think you should work on the writings too, but the journal stuff is fun as well. Because sometimes its nice to read offhanded stuff and get pointed to silly links. :) I think a hybrid would be nice.
