Actions influenced by a book called Information Architecture

Objectives

Structure, Organize information to better control them.

Motivations

I was struggling to re-visit my information spread across many places.

Actions

• Consolidate blogs to the minimum.

Since I've been having many blogs for specific topics, my information spread across them, then managing them gets harder.

• Structure, Organize and Label the posts of this blog.

I was influenced by the below book.. I will use "labels" thoroughly to categorize and navigate my posts.

• Connect this blog to SNSs for an on-line networking. ( github, stackoverflow, etc.. )

After I think through my activities on the internet, I could apply the separation of concerns(SoC) principle. 

For me, this blog is a place to log my thought and activities, and SNSs are to connect with people in that particular interest. For example, interaction and collaboration with a programmer is taking place at Github.
