Hello

#

Why are you making a blog?

#

Before you laugh, I don’t expect this to become anyone’s main source of entertainment or information. I don’t need my blog to become famous for it to serve its purpose.

The value of this blog is twofold:

• Help me describe what I do and get better at writing
• Help random people with weird, finnicky, specific issues

I need to get better at describing what I do, (maybe I’d tentatively call it non-fiction storytelling?) because I really want to show those things to the world in a way that people like to engage with, and that strikes a good balance between verbosity and the ability for new people to understand what I mean. Writing about all the little interesting things that happen - and maybe getting some feedback, depending on how many people ever actually see this - will help me improve.

I was also inspired to start this because, ocasionally, I will come across someone’s personal blog that has some specific solution or idea that blows my mind, or a solution that fixes a one-in-a-million problem I’m having that nobody could possibly help me with… except one nerd who both experienced it AND posted about it (thank you to these people). Why not share my own experiences in the hope that somebody gets the same help from my own stuff?

Conclusion

I wanted to start a blog, so I started a blog. I hope you like it.
