"Hello Blog!"

This is my official first blog post.

I'm a software developer with too many interests along with an extreme love for analogies and phrase association/context games. I secretly play these games in my head with the occasional accidental blurt out. Or, maybe it's one of those popular attention disorders everyone seems to have. In any case, I usually find it difficult to communicate as a result. On occasion I have too many opinions regarding a particular subject, becoming hyper focused and unable to concentrate on anything else during its exploration.

A while back I bought a bunch of domains to play around with. In fact, their first purpose was to learn and then teach my friend how to buy domains and setup a website "step by step" (New Kids On The Block). I tried to follow what I considered to be some best practices based on platitude of instructional materials out there, and whatever I remembered from college. I created a quick ugly custom site using blogger templates. I set a custom favicon and even made a sample svg logo. Eventually my friend gave up on the website, but but I kept the domains I acquired for the experience. Figured I would find new use for them eventually for the purposes of experimenting, mocking web projects, etc...

Fast forward and here we are. Using one of those domains and starting a blog. This will be a good space for me to elaborate. Start, pause, stop, re-start, edit, re-edit and refine opinions as constant works in progress. With a lose goal to eventually be able to just copy-paste-share my ideas facilitating their consumption. Communication is a constant process of encoding and decoding information from messages from modulating ciphers, and it requires excessive ad hoc reverse engineering. I will take any time saved and maybe learn other things along the way.
