Deleting blog posts

If you are an avid follower of my blog (which I would be eternally grateful), you might have noticed a few blog posts disappearing. Well, notably, the last few that talks about some basic iPhone game development stuff. Not all of them, just the shorter ones.

Why?

Quite simply, I'm indecisive.

Those few entries are actually quite out of place. They felt more like rushed work (they really are I supposed), and they did not contributed much to my identity in my blog.

I am always confused. Should this blog be a technical blog? A personal blog that reflect my belief? My thoughts? Random advices? I always felt drawn from one goal to another. And many times I felt like making it a fully technical one.

Except, truth be told, I do not have the time to make it a purely technical one. And it is definitely pointless if they are not touching on topics that are not commonly covered. If there are too many hit entries on google, it is definitely pointless.

But over the past few months, I did managed to notice the way my blog posts were going.

They definitely reflect my opinions and thoughts more than anything else. A voice in the cyberspace. And isn't that what blog are supposed to be?

Which is what I would be using to benchmark my blog posts against. If it did not feel like an opinion of mine, I would not keep the post. I am going to avoid heavy technical posts too. Those that involves a lot of code. instead they would be more technical design heavy. Or an opinion on some code.

This blog must avoid becoming a mindless coding blog without any emotions in it. That was what I felt lacking in the last few posts. It felt like they were written by robots!
