I like this post. When I restarted my personal site a while back, one thing I found mildly limiting was attaching it to my real name, which made me feel like I needed to present a semi professional vibe. I haven't stopped myself from the odd swear word, but there are things I'd like to write about that I would prefer to remain anonymous.
I've been considering starting a more freeform, anonymous site where I could cut loose a bit more. This post is somewhat encouraging in that direction.
This is something that's held me back a bit. My blog is at my email domain which means anyone I talk to could go read it. That means potential employers.
I might set up another domain for those topic that I start to write and abandon because it's not something I want attached to my professional image.
