Should I or Shouldn't I?

From Cambridge: I'm trying to decide whether I should blog in Tanzania. Here are the pros and cons.

Pros
  • My family will be happy to know I'm alive
  • Maybe this will help me be more reflective in my work and travels
  • I'm demonstrating that I can operate in the 21st Century/social network or whatever
  • It may help me be as cool as my sister (though not quite)
  • I can post pictures and hence not have to show them afterwards
Cons
  • Electricity/internet may be spotty which is annoying when posting
  • Blogging is self-indulgent
  • No one cares about me running around TZ interviewing people
  • I'm more of a list-maker than a blogger
  • I am not funny at all so this may be boring
