I've graduated from 2 years of blogging!

Last week, I gave a presentation on “Managing Gen Y” to a group of CIOs, and while talking about social media and collaborative technologies, the Techyness came up in conversation.

And then I realized something… I’ve been blogging for over two years. 2 years!

Here is a throwback to the first post on the Techyness, with backward compatibility as the subject matter. And, If I remember correctly, I referenced Time’s Person of the Year 2006 shortly afterwards.

So, why blog?

Just a simple google search on the phrase leads me to this result from the New York Times about how the blogger who started Stuff White People Like landed a book deal… because of his blog (the full list is actually pretty funny).

Sure, I haven’t won a Weblog award, like this list of winners for 2008… but

The Techyness has also allowed me to coach other people in their blogging endeavors, and I love the whole “blogging mentor” thing.

So, what’s in scope for the future of Techyness? I think it will grow with me. As I learn (graphic design, code, life, etc), these skills will have a direct effect on the blog.
