David Emery OnlineAll opinions here are mine
9 October 2006
A couple of times in the comments on recent posts people have been calling me out on only giving my opinions on this blog; I should – at least according to them – be trying to write from a neutral-bystander point of view.
They are, of course, wrong.
This blog is here as a form of expression; a way for me to express my thoughts, views and ideas. It is not trying to be a news source, or a specific niche blog – this is all just my views, and while I may elaborate on opposing viewpoints for the sake of interesting discourse, equally I might not mention them at all.
I have also been called arrogant and self-centered, and those accusations I agree with; on this blog, I write about what I want to write about. As you may be able to tell by glancing at the recent posts to the right, I’m interested in a whole host of things ranging from the future of music and web development to the mac and mac development.
I’m fully aware of the conventional blogger notion that focusing on one topic brings both more readers and also more respect in your chosen field; but that’s simply not what I’ve set out to do here. I write about what I find interesting, and hopefully a few of you find it interesting too and keep reading. As an added bonus, the ones of you reading for the mac related topics, for example, might find some of the music related content interesting too.
If not, it’s no big loss – sure, I’m not going to go all Pinocchio on you and claim that I don’t care if anyone reads this blog; of course I care, as does every single blogger. Anyone that claims they don’t are lying. But, that doesn’t mean that I’m activly trying to gain new ones.
If you like what you see, please keep reading. If not, I’m sure there’s a whole load of interesting stuff on the internet that will pass the time much quicker.
