What is your motivation for blogging?

I have been inventing and developing new digital audio/video software and technology for more than 15 years, first at the University of Mannheim, Germany, later at the CSIRO, Australia, and now in my start-up Vquence. I got involved with open source software and open standards in 2000 and have since been contributing to MPEG, IETF, Xiph.Org, and more recently the W3C. I'm also active in the local open source community. I believe I have some interesting things to share and I hope there are people interested in reading about these things.

What is your motivation for blogging?

Today, I blog both professionally and personally, and the motivations for each blog I write for are different. On ReadWriteWeb, for example, I'm surrounded by really talented bloggers who inspire me to be a better writer, to learn, and to grow. To be blogging alongside these rockstars is truly amazing - and sometimes even a little intimidating. It's really an honor to be a part of a site that produces such a consistent flow of great writing and great content.
