Every so often I remember that I have a blog which I never use. Today, for example, I was reading an article that I found through Pinterest on "Managing your online persona." The first task was to Google yourself - which I did - and one thing that appeared on the first page was this blog. Let me say first of all that I love my name, and that I don't seem to share it (according to Google searches) with anyone else. I have a friend named Jason Smith and he jokes that his name is so common that it's the name used on sample credit cards (which is true).
I love writing - and I don't do nearly enough of it lately - but I generally prefer pen and notepad to screen and keyboard. Ideas transfer more smoothly from my mind onto paper, and there's no fear of the entire world reading my journal. Well, at least not until I write my memoirs, but I can't ruin the surprises before then.
Once in a while, though, there are things that cross my mind that I want to share with my friends/internet community. So I think I will attempt to use this space for that.
The article I mentioned can be found here: http://mashable.com/2013/03/09/you-will-be-googled/
Thanks for reading!
