is blogging an effective tool for communicating design?

well, yes and no.

i have yet to find a happy medium between ignoring design blogs and burning my retinas at notcot.org (honestly, i can click "random" on that site for hours). one of the downsides of design blogging is the way popular design can pollute and homogenize good ideas into.... another bent plywood whatever. It is important to be inspired by people, problems, life, and random good stuff... not just other designs.

the upside is the way you can communicate thoughts about design, which i find refreshing. theory interests me, and i enjoy having an outlet to discuss the theoretical side of design.
