The Blog is Open

I am well aware how long it has taken for me to start blogging. As many of you may well know, I have spent the last 2 months moving back to New York from California. Thankfully, I would say that the process is now fully complete, and I am thus able to really dive into blogging.

I was planning on beginning to blog this week, but was really spurred forward by the Analyst opening at Union Square Ventures. They have creatively transformed the resume/cover letter process into what they loosely define as "online presence." This blog is going to serve as my online presence. I will thus be posting quite voraciously over the next day or two to make up for the lack of content, and to finally put on "paper" many of the ideas I have shared with a lot of you over the last year. I thank Union Square Ventures, and the forces of chance, for finally pushing me to blog. Regardless of whether the job opportunity works out, the motivation to really start blogging is a reward in itself. I also encourage any of you that are interested in the position to apply.

I have always been somewhat hesitant to translate my thoughts into concrete form. I'm not sure why. It could be the resulting permanence. Or maybe its the lack of maleability. In your mind, a thought never really has to be finished or finalized. "On paper" it achieves a certain stone form. You can always update a posting, or edit it later, but I guess it's just not the same. Regardless, it's time go get over that fear, if not for "posterity's sake," than for the sake of a really awesome job!
