Brand Yourself

I've been thinking lately about the overwhelming amount of knowledge there is (and added to everyday) related to me, my life, the software industry, politics, ect. It's obviously impossible to keep up with it all.

I was catching up on one of the blogs I try to read and came across this post: Your Personal Brand. Basically talking about the need to make yourself more marketable in a very saturated software industry, but will relate to other industries as well. The post I listed talked about doing "something" -- so I'm picking this blog as my "personal brand".

I am going to try to keep this blog updated with useful (I'm sure the definition of "useful" will evolve over time) posts. You'll probably see a lot of posts related to the software industry as that is where I focus 80% of my time.

So here's to branding myself -- cheers.

Here is another post along the same line as what I'm talking about: Pushing your skill set.
