Doing a personal brand is really hard. I think my co-worker and friend Nathan Ford said it best: It's much easier if your blog is a product. However, for me I don't wish it to be.
This is a rough version. It'd need to be cleaned up a bit.
Be brutal with your feedback. What works, what doesn't. :)
Doesn't seem super sharp (bottom side near the right of the I) and along the top. Easy mistake. Otherwise looks nice. :) Good luck and look forward to seeing what you come up with.
@Nathan_Ford Thank you. You may be quite right. I love simplicity (the latest redesign is VERY simple) but at the same time I feel like I need a bit of flourish. I'll work on this some more.
Hmmm... I would like to see a "sans-serif" version of this. Take it real simple. This is a bit condensed for my tastes. But I think you are on the right rack for sure!

Oh yeah. I'll be cleaning that stuff up once I get the mark down.

Dots: unnecessary. Circle: unnecessary. Pinstripes: same. Remove these elements and is it compelling? What are you saying about yourself?
(you did say brutal, right?)

Ditto what Chris said. Might try a few other typefaces.
