Ning #2 Feeling motivated

Working on the ning site, though I'm not particularly fond of the interface (it feels cluttered to me, even with a reduced home page,) has made me feel like even more positively towards writing in electronic environments. I know no one out in the internet sea is reading my blogs, but I feel empowered that they could be read. And so I feel more proud of my what I write and I take more care in it. Yesterday, following the suggestions from the peer review, I found and uploaded multimedia that suit our cause. In doing so I recalled the Vargas/chained dog incident last year (if you are unaware you can find my blog post about it attached to the ning site ;) ). I always had personal thoughts about it, that I've felt are worthy of attention, and already being particularly involved with the ning site, I blogged about it. I found my sources, referenced them, and offered my perspective. If computer scientists are a dime a dozen, then bloggers are a quarter a dozen; I don't expect to be a professional blogger, but I'm taking pride in my blog posts.
