Blogging with substance-which substance, we won't say

Saturday, August 7, 2010

The substance could be coffee. Or something stronger. I'm not telling.

A couple of days ago, Jason Goldman of The Thoughtful Animal tagged me in a little meme purportedly started by The Blogfather Bora. This meme is short, and the rules simple:

1. Sum up your blogging motivation, philosophy and experience in exactly 10 words.

2. Tag 10 other blogs to perpetuate the meme.

My blogging philosophy

Keeping self and spouse sane whilst muddling through postdoc life.

I'm tagging:

Candid Engineer in Academia

dr_leigh of the path forward

Prof-like Substance

Prof in Training

Inktopia

Eugenie at There's a War Under My Bed

Unbalanced Reaction

Ambivalent Academic

Odyssey of Pondering Blather

Damn Good Technician

Hmm. Looks like I need to finish my blogroll, since some of these lovelies aren't in the sidebar. I'll see to that during my quiet rebellion of not working weekends.

Anyway, post a link in the comments to your 10-word philosophy/motivation, and even if I didn't tag you officially, go forth and meme and post your links here :)

Sanity appears to be a strong theme for everyone's blogging philosophies.

PiT-sounds like you've already got 1/2 of it composed :P

LadyScientist-Indeed. Blogging is the thing we do to keep us from going apeshit on other people, circumstances which might lead to less than favorable consequences.
