Starting this Blog

Why start this blog when I cannot really seem to be able to keep any of the various other blogs I have tried in the past updated?  I’m not sure really.  Perhaps it is because I am finally the owner instead of being on another site.  Maybe I enjoy the thought of this being my place where I can post my thoughts and ideas.

Why put it up here instead of just keeping a journal to myself?  Because I want to connect with people.  I want to be able to pass along some of my ideas and thoughts and experiences to others.  I also think being on the web gives it a little bit more of a permanence to it, even though it is just electrons and magnetic states in certain configurations.  Plus I think it would be useful to be able to look back on it over time, and see where I have come from and how far along it has been.

I also want to use it to improve my writing and hopefully my speaking and presentation skills.  I am somewhat shy and can be very quiet.  In conversations with lots of people I tend to keep to myself.  I can talk and discuss things at length if need be, but I prefer to watch and listen to the other people.  I’ll speak up if I have something relevant to say, of course.  So I think that this space can also be where I can speak my part.

This is just my tiny piece of the web.  I can post stuff of my own creation and maybe some people will find it useful and informative (or at least entertaining).  I view it as a playground for my imagination when I get the time to let it run around.  Just a peek into my mind and what it is doing and maybe even how it operates.  This is my little place to place my thoughts for those curious enough to read them.
