The effective writing - brevity July 18, 2007
Posted by nbeyond in : blogging , add a commentI practiced to shorten up the about page for brevity.
nbeyond comes from my son who used to say “To infinity and beyond” copying from Buzz Lightyear Toy Story 2. Until I heard the words right from my boy, I have never thought this can be a nice nickname that I can use with relative uniqueness in the Internet.
Using this nickname, I started to feel something funny knowing that my nickname sort of influences my identity somehow in a way that I have to be something and beyond or doing something and beyond or writing something and beyond. I don’t know how nbeyond I can go with nbeyond dot net. But I know I have already made half a way by just doing it.
Like to communicate with readers out there through the interface called blog.
Listening “To infinity and beyond” from my boy, I have used nbeyond as a unique nickname in the Internet. Following the nickname, the blog topic will be about to-something-and-beyond hopefully with some communication with others.
Any comment with more brevity, will you please?

Posted by nbeyond in : Out there?, blogging, tips , 2commentsI happened to read one post at binary blog, one of the nice blogs among many. To get to the point, I like that article, but, I didn’t like it very from the beginning. This turned out to be my fault.
Like always, the bold sub-titles in the post catch my eyes. The article was not an exception.
- Lack of focus
- Irregular posting schedule
- No social aspects
From the bold sub-titles, this exactly sounds like ones in the major blogs. Naturally my first thought about the article without reading fully was
Isn’t this another blog telling me the things that I gotta be to stand out from the crowd?
In fact, I was quickly getting tired of some major blogs saying Stand Out in the name of success. Because these major bloggers are so BOLD enough to catch my attention, I saw myself keep reading post by post to be a successful blogger. But, after all, it’s all same thing called marketing.
Enough is enough. (Sorry, I made this sentence bold)
Overwhelmed by so many articles in bold, I have almost forgotten that this is not my primary job and this is just started as a hobby, because I am interested. Why not let’s just walk away from them and do whatever originally I thought to be enjoyable?
Back to the post at binary moon, Ben was talking about our ordinary nature that most bloggers have. Unlike the three bold sub-titles, he is talking about something totally opposite but most of us have. The very reason why most bloggers started their own blogs in the Internet.
Frankly, I am not interested in video games, Harry Potter stuff, or others that Ben likes for his hobby or job. But at least I have something common through his article in doing blogging. Thanks a lot for reminding me and your wordpress theme, regulus.
