Ladies and gentlemen, the invisible man!

Here we go.

The parrotScience WordPress account was created a while ago, it’s now time to fill it in with some entry.

I’m not saying I will write anything special or fun, just needed a place to keep track of new ideas, experiences or just thoughts. Now, is a blog the right way to do so? I don’t know. I’ve been using wikis for quite some time now, and I must admin they are great when you have some knowledge to store and share. You update your articles as soon as something new happens or tweak and tune them whenever you have some spare time.

But blogs have a sort of forcing function that makes them unique. A blog requires you to freeze your thought in a few lines. It naturally combines your texts with comments by others. And it does not require you to know everything about the subject you are addressing. Your contract with readers is extremely loose: this is my instant thought, right here and right now. Take it or leave it.

The issue is: will you find the time to write a few lines in your blog once in a while? Once a week maybe? Or once a month? Even every third month… come on, 4 posts a year is not much of a burden!

So… will it work? Who knows.

As per now, what really matters is this post. Next months will tell us whether the experiment worked. If not, it will be just another son of the invisible man around the corner…
