Aftermath of Project MMD

For those of you who don't know - the midterm project that was creating and maintaining this blog is now finally over. Unless wanted by popular demand, my blog will not be posted on a nearly as frequent basis as it has been (slash at all for that matter). For your enjoyment I have provided an excerpt from an interview with my Professor that was conducted shortly after the project was reviewed.

Professor Rubin: Could you reflect on what your experience of blogging was like? I'm interested in learning whether you felt comfortable doing it, whether it was fun and why, and whether you plan to continue blogging.

Josh: Blogging, to say the least, was very difficult for me. Not because I am incapable of it, but because it needs a strong, well though out design to truly work. The nature of the blog is to churn out new information at a rapid pace.

I have learned that there are two main ways to be able to blog successfully. Though of course - each comes with a catch. One, you can be an expert in at least one field. Through your blog, you impress your superior knowledge unto people and soon enough, your blog is now being visited by 1 million unique visitors everyday. Or two, you can use your blog as an online journal. For this one however, you'd better have a damn interesting life if you want more than that one person who accidentally stumbles onto your blog, shuts the hell off his computer, and then proceeds to go on a manic rampage beating the crap out of infants because YOUR LIFE WAS BORING AS FUCK. (*excuse*)

Sure, I see how blogging could be fun, but without a driving force such as being an expert or chronicling your remarkable life - coming up with post after post can soon start to feel as tedious as watching crappy spin-off movies that leave you asking "Why?" – like Son of the Mask.
