I have realised in the last few months that the way that I gain knowledge has changed a lot since I started my career.

Who’s your daddy
Today I experienced the second defining experience of my life. My daughter was born at 12:51 Wednesday 28 January 2009.
Words cannot describe the emotions & feelings, trust me I’ve been trying to find the words all afternoon, and I now officially stop trying, and just enjoy the feeling.
Belated photos of Abby
Since deciding to move my content from FB to here, I have not had chance to do a lot. At 22 weeks into the pregnancy we went for the 4D scan (most people try to correct me into saying it is a 3D scan, but you keep on forgetting the time dimension. The snapshots are 3D, but you get video with Time-lapse, that is why it is called 4D)
Anyway, here are the first photos of our daughter's face, belatedly here, but up on FB for some time.
Hanselman
I had the privilege of meeting Scott Hanselman the other day while he was here in SA. I have to say he's an absolutely awesome guy, and it is nice to meet someone in the flesh after following their blog and podcast for some time now.
Abigail – An update
We just came from the doctor for the 32 week scan. Abigail is growing and healthy. She is now 2kg, which is exactly the weight she should be. And according to the scan, the due date is now back to the 1st of Feb. I'll update the post with the scan pic later.
Is it worth it trying to maintain multiple blogs?
Over the last few weeks I’ve written a few articles on MyDigitalLife, where, should you be deemed a good enough writer, you start getting paid per hit. While checking on my hit count etc, I’ve fallen into the bad habit of reading the latest blog posts every time I visit. I have to honestly say that I’m a worse person for reading some of the mind numbing posts out there.
There are a FEW of the bloggers there that write quality stuff, but mostly…Well let’s not comment any further, go have a look at this beauty. And there are a few more of these.
I strive for constant improvement in my life, in everything I attempt, whether it be writing – in comprehensible language – or watching the grass grow – trying to see more detail every time :-). And in this constant quest for improvement, I do not want to be associated with the likes of snake.
I have also been neglecting this blog because of my writing on that side, and I do not want to neglect my primary site, so I’ve decided to commit site suicide (removing my profile, not killing myself), but I have to say it seems that it may be more difficult than trying to commit FaceBook suicide, which can be nearly impossible, according to the few who’ve tried.
So, I’ll now move my articles from that side to this one, and see if the kick me off for breaking one of the rules of the site – linking back to your own blog.
So, back to my question, is it worth maintaining multiple blogs? Only if you want to hide your political/personal views…
MyDigitalLife
I've recently started writing some posts on the mydigitallife.co.za site. Once you get author status there you get paid per hit, so it makes sense to have the more controversial posts over there. I'll still link to those posts from here though. Here's the first one, happy reading
