Techno-anxiety and conflicted feelings

I've been challenged to maintain a certain momentum in my blogging: regular posts for the duration of the 23things program. The visceral response to a challenge is to meet it.

However, I've never been one to maintain a diary - thoughts of insufficient significance, memories best deleted as soon as possible, protection of the guilty, etc. The thought of 'sharing' in an electronic form open - as I know from my HR work - to examination by an international community of cybernauts is, to be blunt, paralyzing to my WASP sentiments [soundtrack of generations of Presbyterians rolling in their tombs]. And why contribute to the mounting volume of narcissistic e-drivel?

I'm left thinking that increasing mastery of the medium may spark increasing significance of the message... O, for the intellectual wings of an angel!

[My great hope is one of the next assignments will cover the deletion of blog segments]
