Ends of Blogging, Part 2

I learn every day from blogging. One of my main purposes that drive this blog is to find the telos of blogging, to throw out a snotty but sharp ancient philosophical term. What am I pointing toward by blogging? Useful question. There's several answers that I've generated on my own, and it seems that I occasionally find other ends that I didn't think of. Vanity was never an end, but a "relationship accelerator" seems like a good one.

I started blogging because it seemed like good professional practice. This blog is my live resume, what I think about and work on. Here's what I'm passionate about. If my reputation is tied to my digital identity in the future, then my life depends on blogging.

There's a few other ends. It would be good for me to write about them--but later.

[Update: hmm, that gapingvoid link is dead. Don't know where it went; seems that Hugh removed that entry or some such.]
[Bonus: Yes, I know that this post doesn't have an individual/permalink page. Sorry. Working on it.]
