			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking at this website and other people&#8217;s blogs has led me to an obvious conclusion:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Blogs are only worth reading when the writer is in the midst of some kind of <a href="http://coldphoto.blogspot.com">exciting adventure</a>, has <a href="http://www.ventureblog.com/">specific experience or knowledge</a> that you&#8217;re interested in learning from, or is <a href="http://www.tomspot.com">your son</a>.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I have been doing ostensibly the same thing in the same place for 7 months now, which is peanuts to the &#8220;adults&#8221; out there but for me it&#8217;s the longest I&#8217;ve ever stuck with one thing (counting school one semester at a time, and anyway my longest continuous stint there was 4 semesters and I switched majors in the middle of that).  I don&#8217;t count working at a startup as a blog-worthy exciting adventure because it doesn&#8217;t involve many pretty pictures.  I&#8217;m not yet an expert in anything notable.  I am somebody&#8217;s son, but that has limited appeal.</p>

<p>Since my life is now an incredible bore (unblogworthy) I&#8217;ve decided I should blog about more interesting subjects: other people.</p>

<p>Look for the first in this series the next time I have free time =)</p>
