The State of CutEdge as of May 2008

The end of May is approaching, and we draw near to CutEdge’s first birthday. It’s been a wild ride, and I’ve learned many things – in fact, I’m still learning many things. Blogging has been one of the best things that ever happened to me, as it’s given me a chance to demonstrate my abilities and focus my time towards.

Speaking of focus, I’ve changed focus many times over one year (as well as themes). CutEdge initially started as a gizmo blog, but that was of no use – it didn’t work well for original material. I decided to start writing reviews of free software, and then recently, start parting advice to you all on the consumption of technology.

There have been a few things that have halted my development of CutEdge:

• The search of a good theme – I’ve decided to focus on other things though. This will be the temporary final revision (haha) until I have enough money to either purchase a premium theme or hire a designer.
• The review bug – I’ve been bitten by the review bug. I think I might’ve bitten off a bit more than I could chew, so I’ve been busy with many projects as of late (collaborating with other sites as well).
• The challenge of Fight Club – last weekend, I watched Fight Club – and felt challenged by its message about consumerism.

I will not necessarily change focus again, but perhaps change priorities a bit – instead of focusing on buying buying buying, I will focus on how to buy smart.

The things you own will end up owning you.
