Tao of Blogging

We all know that we know more than we knew before we knew what we now know.

Maybe that's why we blog.

I've been an active lurker and infrequent poster on many a game blog over the last few years but never felt until now that I was ready to add my hat to the already crowded ring.

Job experience was a big factor for me deciding when to open my fat head to the public domain.

To be sure I am still running noob. Though the more projects that flow through my fingers the more I realize that no one really 'knows' anything about what they are doing. Even for the experts it is an ongoing learning process.

To know that you 'know nothing' is a base for many philosophical traditions. Truly understanding this concept is oxymoronically near impossible for more than a fleeting instant.

From this starting point I will attempt to explore why we are so self involved in the process of game design and how we can reach some critical mass of understanding that the language balloons to encompass the various debates and arguments that structure our gaming world without the injection of what we all think we 'know'.
