Julian Bleecker discusses why he blogs. He sees blogging as an experiment in open-source design practice and as a way to manage and share ephemeral ideas, thoughts, sketches, and projects. It allows him to collect, circulate, and experiment with ideas in a public forum.

on
why
he
blogs:
“For
me,
it
comes
down
to
making
things
public
in
a
way
that
is
part
an
experiment
in
a
kind
of
open-‐source
design
pracCce,
part
as
a
way
to
manage
a
torrent
of
ephemeral
material,
snippets,
thoughts,
sketches,
cobbled
together
prototypes,
Shandy-‐esque
projects
that
start
and
then
stop
and
then
start
and
then
divert
—
a
collecCon
and
idea
circulaCon
machine.”
