Although I intended to write some of these articles with the intent of publishing, think I will use this list as a guide for my blogging. I wrote this list before returning to full-time employment. Although much of the time this blog will be focused on the immediate, I intend to explore some of the themes in the list you can find after the jump. Please let me know if you have any particular interests in any particular article subject.
I have been thinking about some of the subjects I could write about. Tonight while watching some TV I logged on and looked at some of the referrals of the traffic coming to my business card site, Christopher Abraham. One link I found an old brainstorm I put together while I was sitting around on the deck of a 42-foot-catamaran back in 2003.

Hi Chris, this is an impressive list! I think I can learn from this, I have some disparate content areas and am about to migrate to Typepad.So thanks! I discovered your blog after you commented on Trevor Cook’s blog today (3/2 here in Oz). I thought your article about the effect of blogging was interesting for its perspective on the informal networks of universities. In Australia our universities are a bit short of cash which puts a different spin on things. More comments on this at that post…sorry!
