New blog!

Welcome to my new blog!

For quite a while now, I’ve bought into the opinions voiced by blogging celebrities such as Scott Hanselman and Troy Hunt. For example, Scott makes compelling arguments that more bloggers are needed to strengthen their respective communities, and also that you should also “own your words.” That is, don’t do all your writing in a walled garden owned by a giant social media company. That resonates with me. I also like the idea of using a blog as a tool for personal documentation and as a public log for sharing research with others, which is how I’ve heard Jon Skeet, another one of my favorite bloggers, describe his blog. Finally, I want to use my blog as a tool to simply help me focus on researching and documenting topics that interest me. However, there’s a big gap between wanting something intellectually and sitting down to put in the time to build it.

So, this is my first post - short and sweet. In the next post, I plan to dive straight into some technical content!
