Why?

When news got out that I was going to start a blog, there were 2 raging questions among all of my friends - "1.Why?" and "2.What can we do to stop this?". Let me answer them in turn, and I know you all are more interested in No. 2.
1. Why? - Of late it has struck me that I am doing almost nothing creative beyond putting together presentations intended to persuade or educate in 10 minutes. The intent of these creations is to break down a complex idea into bite-sized chunks that the audience can digest in a single meeting. This mode of communication often requires one to become accustomed to giving up detail and accuracy for the sake of brevity and clarity. I am seriously scared that more of this could cause me to lose the feeble grasp I have on written communication. Hence the blog.
2.What can we do to stop this? - Pretty much nothing. This thing is bound to self-destruct when faced by the indomitable power of my laziness anyway, so I wouldn't bother if I were you.

I am pretty much undecided on what I will post as of now, so feel free to post comments and feedback, critical or otherwise.
