Today is the day I start blogging. Bear with me while I do the usual first ego post. It is not every day that one looses his blogger virginity.
What about this blog?
Well a friend of mine, Martin Lessard convinced me to start blogging through a chapter he wrote in the excellent book Pourquoi Bloguer? (why blog?). This gave me the kick in the butt to get off mine and start sharing my thoughts and ideas with the world.
The pessimistic in me is yelling "why would anyone care?". The answer is maybe that indeed no one cares about what I have to write. But if I don't try it, I will never know.
You will probably notice that English is not my first language. French is. I however decided to not write using my mother tongue for a few practical reasons.
First, reach. The majority of people I hope will read my posts speak English.
Second, it will force me to hopefully improve my second language. Living in Montreal I don't get much chance to practice.
So here I go. Please forgive any mistake I might commit. I will learn and improve both the style and relevance of my posts over time.
