When I started this blog several months ago — almost a year, actually — I had no idea where I was going with it. I didn’t know I’d meet some really funny, smart, interesting Gen Y bloggers, or that I’d go to South by Southwest, or that I’d end up moving to DC and working in social media. Like most things in life, I didn’t know what I was doing but decided to jump in anyways and figure it out as I went along — why not, when that approach has never failed me before?

So it was going great, until I started realizing where my professional interests were: politics, technology, and media. And I wasn’t as motivated to write about the same things I was writing about before (a.k.a my life, careers, “gen y” topics). I became more fascinated by the intersection of politics and technology, and I wanted to read and write about that. So my blog had a mini identity-crisis while I figured out what I should be blogging about and while I moved across the country and started a new job and all of that.

I know I’m not the only one who’s experienced that — I’ve watched several bloggers whom I really respect shift the focus of their blogs or start entirely new blogs devoted to their professional interests — like Monica O’Brien, Meg Roberts, or Jaclyn Schiff, or Holly Hoffman.

So now that I’ve had some time to figure out what I want to do with this thing, I’ve decided rather than start a new blog, I’m keeping this one, but I’ll be mostly focusing on writing about the intersection of politics and new media/technology.

I realize this means I’m losing some readers, since not everyone cares about the same (really nerdy) things I do. And I get that. But I hope some of the readership I’ve built over the past few months will stay even as I shift gears here!  I hope to be blogging a lot more often than I have in the past couple months.
