Now that I can access your site once more ;) I’m astounded by your reply. Wow! Thank you for the support in adding three additional RSS feeds. And I didn’t know you were Mexican!

You ask an interesting question, one that I’m wondering if I should answer here, or trackback and pontificate upon. But just in case I don’t [it’s late here in S’pore] very quickly to your points - silos : there’s a fine line isn’t there, between discussing my sociocultural identity and thoughts and taking it further into the deeper issues that arise, topics that are rarely discussed in public, i.e. politics, sex and religion :) I wonder how much of decorum, call it professionalism, call it the hangover from the British - “it’s just not done” mentality of what’s propah - but those are the boundaries that we question on our blogs. I teeter between wanting to talk about professional achievements and a sense of humility that has been trained into me since childhood. You’ve read Seth’s post on his introspection re: self promotion? That conundrum, if solved, would be the answer to your other question, how you can be reminded of that - my writing.

I hope this makes sense, there’s no preview button :)

I didn’t know you were on group blogs. I’ve added The Prepared Mind, Does Size Matter?, and CPH 127 to my feed reader.

See? I didn’t know you had these other personae. At some point I knew you were affiliated with other blogs/sites, but I didn’t know you were contributing. How can I be reminded of this? The divisions in your case can be safely blurred.

You write personal blog entries that are interesting. Books you’ve read, thoughts about your identity, which have got me thinking about what, if anything, it means to be Mexican.

Your personal entries are not the sort that raise controversy. Nothing so racy that you must hide it, blog pseudonymously say, but it’s still personal.

You might discuss such things with co-workers over lunch. It’s not business, but it’s you.

Is it necessary to have silos, or can we instead have some decorum? Know that talking about what it means to be Indian is something to save for the gathering after the workshop on industrial design.
