A month from tomorrow is my Birthday. Whenever it comes to a holiday or event that involves some gift receiving on my part, the question inevitably comes “What do you want for _________ ?” And my answer is inevitably “I don’t know…”.
The reality is that I do know, but the things that I want are so far outside of the normal range of affordability that I generally don’t want to bring it up. I don’t want to ask people for an electric car (if such a thing exists in the US – c’mon automakers, get with the program), or a $3000 projector, or a 42″ flat LCD TV, or whatever. Up until 9 months ago, one of the answers was “A new computer”, but having struck a deal with Hykel, my wife I bought a new iMac back in July, and it’s been great. So thankfully I don’t need a new computer. I’m very happy with it.

It’s been a few weeks since I setup the blog. I’ve had a goal to post often, and by often I mean about 3 times a week. I did not realize what that meant at the time I think. I imagined this blog to be something similar to a bit of a tech-cool-stuff blog. The kind of thing you read when you want a personal opinion from someone, or a cool idea you’d like to head up.

I’ve been working up to this for several weeks now. I decided recently that I wanted my website to be more than just a landing page for people interested in hiring me. I wanted to supply the world with information, help people out, be interesting, have a following, and all that stuff that most people like me figured out a few years ago.
I’ve tried on a few occasions to make my website a blog, or at least more interactive, but I found I was posting a little too personally in my other blog, and It never seemed to mesh just right. Back in August or so I revamped my website down to a few pages. Really, just a portfolio of my work, and some related documents. I did this at the time so I would have a strong landing point for potential employers. I was moving out of state (from Utah to Oregon) and I needed something to point people to. Something real.
Now I have plenty of work, and I’ve found myself with an itch to be more engaged in the technologies that link the internet community together. A lot of this I think is born out of the want to use the technologies rather than just build them. I’ve done a lot of work for various companies and people, but I don’t use them very often. I’m ready for the next step. So I’m going to start blogging regularly with the technologies that I’m working with and investigating. The projects I’m working on, and things I’m trying to do.
