Sparse Blogging

As I got several remarks in the last few days that I was blogging very lightly, let me try and explain how come.

The short answer is that I have been busy. The longish answer that I have spend a large amount of time on client projects, setting up our new corporate weblog at Proven Partners, building a platform with both wiki and blog functionality for the Dutch Connection, a business development club, writing articles, trying out new lay-outs for this blog, setting up a workshop to explain social software to companies, organizing Blogwalks, and spending lots of hours in the car and in trains.

Basically I spent my time trying to converge and focus. My blogging mostly is a way of capturing my diverging activities, my time to widen horizons and tie together things that seemed unrelated before and thus create new meaning for me. Times of exploration are followed by times of application and focussing. Just as worthwile and intense, but mostly off-blog.

But don't worry, I am still here, and I am trying to find ways of using my weblog for non-diverging activities. And of course it would help if I learned how to write off-line better as well. Even though it feels very different from on-line writing it would help to use my time spend on trains better.
