Reluctance

I know you want me to write about topics I'm passionate about. Maybe I don't want to?

Topics I'm reluctant to write about, with reasons why.

• • Computers

    • Including:

      • Social media

    • Reasons

      • not formally trained in the topic, mostly use it to my computer to consume, not create

      • especially reluctant to tweet about it, since it just leads to spam follows

  • Baseball

    • despite being a big fan of the game

  • Transit

    • topic is nerdy

    • I just like riding trains and what they look like, not the technology/politics/planning behind them

  • General

    • Reasons

      • few people seem interested in what I have to say. Why so few replies, then?

      • market flooded

      • not timeless

      • nobody asked

So I'm sticking to:

• • Low-threshold sharing, such as "Like", "Favorite", etc. Even better if I can get an RSS feed of those low-threshold shares and/or it goes to my automated ephemera account, @justagwailo

  • Tumblr, which I almost wish didn't have permalinks

  • Twitter, mostly about baseball, probably. I almost with it didn't have permalinks.

  • Inviting photos to the Flickr groups I administer, Vancouver Transit and Icelandair

  • Delicious for bookmarks, mostly about Drupal, sometimes about computers.
