I never thought that I would some day own a blog. I mean, who gives a crap about what I think? Hell, I don't even care about what I think. In my mind, blogs were just a byproduct of babbling buffoons who ran out of humans to tolerated their rambling. And, well, not much has changed. But on to my point...
As a software developer for a large company, I shamelessly admit that I "google" answers to problems probably upwards to 50 times per day. When my employer used a web filter to block access to blogs I became handicapped. Half of the time I tried to "google it," I was blocked. Holy shit, my job just got a lot harder. I suddenly realized that most of the valuable information I found online was actually in a blog.
From that point forward I took on a whole new stance on blogs. Sure, 90% of blogs are a waste of life, but my life would be a hell of a lot harder without that other 10%.
I realized that I, too, possess valuable information that the rest of the world could use. We all contain little random turds of useful knowledge that nobody else knows about - it's not necessarily stuff people want to read every day, but by posting it online you expose it to search engines and potentially billions of people.
By creating this blog, I hope that I can give back to the world that has helped me so much over the years. Here's to a blog that doesn't suck!
