Introducing Bruce Keener’s Lifestream

As if I didn’t have enough of an online presence, I have set up another “blog,” or rather a “lifestream.” This lifestream is called Bruce Keener’s Lifestream … original, huh? :)

My first lifestream post explains why I have decided to set this sort of thing up. Basically it is to let me think out loud, and to have a place where I can share information with you that is interesting but not necessarily immediately useful. For example, it may be about some new finding in science that is just so fascinating that it should be shared, but one which has no practical value for your lives at this time.

I used to have a blog, a few years ago, called bkreflections, and it was this sort of thing. I have missed having an ability to just think out loud, without having to worry about relevance. I have fallen into the trap of doing a little bit of it here from time to time, and I have later realized it is not fair to those who are looking for life management / learning / technology information, which is presumably what readers of this blog are interested in.

Steve Rubel has a good post on why this “lifestreaming” sort of thing is emerging. I am interested in your thoughts on lifestreaming and blogging and where “this whole web thing” is going, or where it should go.

    You may also want to look into using a custom DNS name on Posterous for this, in case you ever decide to move away. I currently do this with Tumblr, but if I want to move to Posterous, it would be an easy switch.

    Sames goes for FeedBurner feeds, email (not using gmail.com), etc. for me – It gives me the flexibility to switch providers without others being impacted AND keeps your brand (because everything is under my primary domain).

    Oh, and I subscribed to your Posterous lifestream. Forgot to mention that. Keep up the amazing content, Bruce! Love it.

    Thanks, Thomas. Appreciate the comments. I may set up a custom DNS for the Posterous account, in time. For now, I am still getting a feel for what I want to be. I like it so far and I am pretty satisfied with the content I have there now.

    Thanks again
