Some way to record thoughts right into our computers? I lay in bed at night and my mind goes a million miles per minute.
I have this, my own blog which I post to, as well as another one called the console conspiracy and of course I write for my company's sites, and a couple other industry related sites.
So I post regularly on quite a few websites. That's because my mind doesn't stop.
If I could post just by sending my thoughts to the various sites I post on, I'd probably produce thousands more pages per month!
I was thinking about it last night in bed. The way I see my mind is that there's 3 little men sitting in my brain. One on either side and one on the middle. The sides are either creative or analytical (just as the human brain is) and the center is the gatekeeper.
The 2 sides compete for the attention of the gatekeeper, and he decides what I focus on. If the creative side wins, then I start thinking creatively. Lots of "what if"s come from there.
If the analytical side wins I usually start thinking about work. There are still some "what if"s there but it's more "What if I do this, then this should happen." Or, "if I build the spreadsheet this way, it will do this."
I've come up with some of my best ideas that way - laying in bed saying what if. (I also get those really good what if's in the bathroom - not sure why those 2 places are the 2 best places to think??)
So I've been thinking about posting here in a while, but have been really busy lately, that's why it's been a few days. Also went on holidays with the family so was gone for a week.
But now batteries are charged and I can start writing again. That's why this blog is here - to give me an outlet for all that other stuff that isn't game console or search engine related.
It's kinda like a baloon, my mind. If I don't give it an outlet, I'm sure it will just explode one day.
Well, my linux partition is now uptodate (I like Yum much better than Up2Date) so I better reboot.
Later!!
