    I've been blogging for some time, but recently I begin to wonder why I keep blogging. Is it just a habit? Or am I aiming for something?

    I've really appreciated your writing so far, specially the posts that involve python and django, although i believe that the erlang posts are valuable, and what i like about you is the fact that you try on so many languages and techniques and you are willing to share your experiences with them, so again i look forward to whatever your next subjects would be, special plug for anything related to django :)

    I'm with the others!

    I love reading your blog and often you have time to explore and play with things I think are interesting but can't work into my schedule (or brain)!!

    W/ new tools like Twitter / Buzz, etc. I don't think we blog for the 'conversation' any longer but it definitely helps increase our collective intelligence!

    @Will - I love reading your blog largely because I've the same interests as you it seems - Python, Erlang and a bit of curiosity about Clojure. I encountered your blog first via your PyObjC article and have been a regular reader since then. I hope you keep writing.

    We don't know how long we'll live, but we do know our time is limited, and life could be thought of as our endeavor to optimize the economics of our time. Yet, much like the current financial debacle, often the attempt to optimize ends poorly.

    It's been a strange couple of weeks; perhaps even a strange couple of years. But the dancing shoes are still on, dancing for position, and waiting for luck.

    Hi, I read what you had to say, and wrote a short response. Basically, I point out the importance of having a goal - hard work and experience help, but there needs to be an organization and focusing of people around a central idea of building some value - success is executing and pursuing this goal efficiently.

    Anyway, I wrote a short post about it here:

    Good luck, let me know your thoughts.

    Recently President Obama and every publishing outfit that can convince their editors to publish words like "cyberwarrior" has been writing about nefarious hackers and the new elite soldiers tasked with combatting them. If only any of it was true.
