| | I am now officially a stay@home dad. While I'm going to have my hands full taking care of my daughter and the house and trying to work 20 hours from home, I'm also going to be using this time to write. While my desire to pester and annoy (just like everyone else on the interwebs) leads me to want to post what I'm doing. I thought I would take the morally vague high road and ponder aloud at how best to do so (if at all).
My reasons for doing this are not entirely selfish (unless you count efficiency as selfishness, in which case, I suggest you find a hobby). Shortly after my daughter was born my wife and I realized two things (actually, we realized a many number of things but two will suffice for my example here). First, babies are slackers who refuse to do anything for themselves and therefore require nearly constant (though at times indirect) attention. Second, while many people want to know more about our daughter and would like to be kept up to date with Rylee's goings on, most (if addressed individually) will ask the same questions. To that end, I figured it would be useful to spend some of the time I'm at home with Rylee writing about my experiences and, in turn, being able to say (in the oh so trendy, 21st century type of way), "check out my blog," instead of regaling poor folks with stories about Rylee being so advanced she's moved beyond making #1 and #2 in her diaper and has created something adorably sinister that Becky and I (okay, maybe just me) refer to it lovingly as "sqrt(5)."
The question is, where. Should I create a new site for Rylee (here or elsewhere)? Should I just change the focus of my current page (seeing as I haven't written anything in months this wouldn't be very hard to do)? Should I just stick to Twittering (sorry, if you, like I, think that 'tweeting' is the mark of the end of civilization, tell the others that I put up a good fight) or do something more in depth (like some sort of resource for other stay@home dads)? If you, gentle reader, have any opinion at all (even if it's to tell me to shut up), feel free to let me know. In any event, I plan on being at least a wee bit more active from here on, at least for a while.
