Telling people that you should blog makes it actually less likely that you will actually do it. Read that on some psychology website once. ;)

In this case I have to disagree, as these positive replies are removing any concerns I had about nobody reading this hypothetical blog :)

I would read it. As you are seemingly living my dream I would love to do a bit of vicarious living through your blog. :)

I read in Influence [0] by Cialdini that telling people you're going to do something actually makes it more likely you will because you feel consistency pressure

I've long noticed this in myself. Very neat to see it isn't just me.

I kinda look at it like a lean startup practice. If nobody signs up for his blog why start? if some people sign up there will be pressure to put something out.
