Coming Out
So, the old barelylegalprogrammer personna is starting to feel a bit constrictive; words stick in my craw and the suit itches when I hit too close to home. This blog was never supposed to be anonymous, merely pseudonymous, while I experiment and learn how to write a blog. I thought it best to do so without much impact on my real life.
However, the rewards of linking this blog with my real life keep growing, and I feel like I understand the risks in doing so.
The final question for me, then, is methodological. How do I inform my boss(es)? Near I can figure, the options are:
- Link the blog to my name and let them figure things out on there own.
- Inform them that I've been experimenting with blogging and am now going public; ask for guidance etc
- Say "hey, check out my blog" on my way out the door tonight.
- Create a post that hijacks the name of the managing partner in a twisted rumor that involves a hibiscus seed, an old steel bumper from an '88 F150, and SpongeBob. Wait for the pink slip to slide into the inbox.
For the record, I have chosen the second option. Note the new copyright attribution & disclaimer on the far bottom left, and the link back to my personal site. Hey, well on my way to full compliance with Dennis Kennedy's advice to new bloggers.
