My First Blog!

Hello world! This is my first blog!

Well, not really, but my first independent blog. I began blogging around mid January 2008 for my “Networking, Knowledge, and the Digital Age” class at the University of Prince Edward Island. Through that class I’ve blogged within a group, with mandatory posts, but I’m creating this blog for my own personal use, and I hope I actually continue to use it in the future.

I’m actually surprised at how quickly I began to love blogging, even though in the past I’ve hated any kind of writing. It’s funny, now that the course has recently ended, I feel like I’ve lost a favorite activity, even though it used to be mandatory. I would like to thank my professor, Dave Hyndman for instilling this new love of blogging in me.

I don’t know if I will continue to write blog posts into the future, but I know I will continue to read them, mainly through things like my Google Reader and FriendFeed, which again, I’ll thank Dave Hyndman and my Business 442 class for teaching me.

I also intend to use this blog when my girlfriend, Jacqueline West, goes to Dalhousie University (hopefully!) in September 2008. I want a means of communicating with her on an everyday basis that will be logged for us in the future. I know there are other, more practical ways of doing this, but due to my new found love of blogging I would like to try this avenue.

I realize that no one will probably ever read this post (not even Jackie), but I’m not doing it for the views, and especially not the stress that the New York Times has been talking about. I’m doing it for the joy of writing my own blog, and to chronicle my life. I guess that means no ad revenue for me!

Cheers,

David McKenna
