Slick blog, professional photo, give city, Flickr photos, Twitter micro-blogging, Delicious bookmarks, YouTube videos - my experiment in working publicly. The downside: time spent separating what should stay private. The upside to others: they can enjoy and benefit from my thoughts, solutions, photos, links and videos. The upside to me: some of that attention is occasionally, and maybe someday very, useful to me. Another advantage: all these polished cooperating services, available on all my devices.
Working publicly also builds my habit of finishing work, especially writing, even if only a sentence, and quickly putting it where others at least have a chance of seeing it. Real artists ship.
