I do not talk about my regular job on this or my private website as I know my employer would not be real happy about it. But I have been thinking about writing on a particular facet of my Job that my employer probably would not have any issue with. I have had a domain for a couple of years that fits perfectly with the subject I would like to write about. Their are a few other sites out their that attempt to draw the same audience that I would like and I know that I could affect their traffic in a negative way. I have been working on a set of self imposed censorship rules after all the last thing I want to do is write about something that could cause my employer embarrassment.
Some have been fired from their jobs and I personally like mine enough that I would censor myself to protect my job. This may seem crazy to some people but I am not stupid. As I like my job and I like the paycheck. Unfortunately it is a catch 22 I hope that someone someday has the vision to generate a policy document spelling out what is ok and what isnt as I am sure companies like Microsoft have.

Actually your choice to not blog about your job is probably wise. Remember the guy who got fired from Microsoft because he took pictures of a truck unloading a crapload of G5′s in a restricted zone?
