Blogging is Huge

I'm amazed at the speed of the world nowadays. Just two months ago we got a new president. Just two weeks ago I started reading "What Would Google Do?" a book my boss bought for me, and my mind hasn't stopped since. Just two days ago I found and joined some of my own blogging sites. I never realized the 'blogosphere' was so huge and so intrinsically valuable. Every day that goes by I find more and more information thanks to blogging websites and the communication and links they encourage. The most appealing thing to me is the ability to get a pulse on so many topics in real-time.

I guess right now the biggest thing on my mind is work. I've been working with a few brilliant people to put together a new kind of innovation in structural engineering. Everybody knows that huge industries could be rocked with some simple technological fixes that it seems nobody figured out yet. We're working on creating a Google model for our own company, to provide free problem-solving platforms for the public with the view the public will depend on our services and come back for more. The only problem I have right now is that I want to pursue so many different avenues along with my existing assignments that need to be addressed, I'm falling way behind trying to catch up (if that makes any sense). In any case, the world is an exciting place right now, at least mine is; technology is starting to make things unbelievably different.

On the other hand, one drawback of blogging is how easy it can be to slip into a 4-hour long web surfing/commenting/blogging session and miss out on some real human interaction, or exercise. Maybe I'll do that now.
