Blog Segregation

I’m slowly feeling more and more that I want some more compartments in my blogging. I’ve been thinking about stuff I want to blog, and stuff I don’t want to blog, and invariably they tend to get filed in both places. For example, I’d like to move toward a  more professional blog that I could talk about my research, papers I’ve been reading, web sites I’ve found interesting, course projects, professional meetings, etc.

At the same time, I am not immune to the desire to share my own breed of whimsy on blogging in a more light-hearted format for a more select group, mainly family and friends. I suppose I could include bored strangers, but presumably my life is boring enough that these will self-deselect after long enough.

Of course, there is significant resistance to this as well, because destroying the links and soforth to this blog is something I’d rather avoid. Perhaps I will just strive to move in the former direction and keep better track of my friends by other means. I believe this is how normal humans operate, come to think of it.
