But I want to add my support for continuing, and my agreement that the purported format should be expanded a bit. I like the idea of remaining nominally Portland-centric, but I also think we could officially open the door to more varied subject matter. As someone who works in the arts in a mostly "tech support" capacity, I often find that I am just two or three steps behind my Culture Shock colleagues in knowing the latest arts topics of interest. Combine that with my work and parenting duties getting in the way, and it's a wonder I've written anything here at all. But there have been times when I really wanted to publicly air my thoughts about something and had the time to do so, but chose not to because I felt the connection to Portland "art and life" was much too thin. I won't promise anything, but I do think I'd be more likely to post if I knew the parameters were even more open. <br /><br />Also, on a personal note, I have really enjoyed everyone's posts here, and although I don't post often, I always feel honored just knowing I've been asked to be a contributor in the company of such clever and insightful wordsmiths.shobizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471300080193371502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-77918670541813690112010-01-02T22:41:00.845-08:002010-01-02T22:41:00.845-08:00Well, like, duh.

I've debated all those whatnots about blogging, too, but I think it does serve a purpose in that you can experiment and say a heckuva lot more than 140 characters will allow. It's a place for a more extended conversation. You've fueled plenty of that. And besides, I just can't see Santa and the elves hammering out a new mission statement in the Twitterverse. Like Mead said, forget the frequency. Monkey Mind all the way, baby.Miss Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623530213538794529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-34875406191070986332010-01-02T18:50:16.979-08:002010-01-02T18:50:16.979-08:00Naturally I want you to keep entertaining me, and ...Naturally I want you to keep entertaining me, and so selfishly I urge you to keep posting. But your demurrers about the process echo my own closely. Remember when part of the fun of blogging was that it was supposed to be a "short form" for expressing and/or sharing your somethings with your ... someones? In the wake of Twitter, FB and whatnot, blogging <i>does</i> seem cumbersome and prolix, even antique. And I wonder if its future use will be relegated to compulsive scribblers and those who need to keep visible for one reason or another.<br /><br />Beyond that, though, I relish all the musings that turn up on Culture Shock; they're refreshing and iconoclastic and I like it that different voices contribute to it. So please keep it up, and don't worry about frequency. Google Reader or its equivalent lets most of us know when there are new posts, so it's less true than it used to be that you have to post constantly to keep an audience.Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157076523366054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-50374498542594012872010-01-02T18:15:08.654-08:002010-01-02T18:15:08.654-08:00I am of the 1%, keep going.
