I Am Me

I am 24 year old Web Programmer, Hobby Hacker, and Linux Freak living in Houston, Texas.

For the longest time I viewed blogs as a complete waste of time.  A trend carried on the shoulders of artsy elitists. A place where teenage girls write about the difficulties of high school life and hopeful artists write mediocre fictional stories.

Then I came to the realization that some of my most frequented websites are in fact blogs.  The web has evolved into a mass of shared personal knowledge.  Bots scan and distribute posts in multiple languages all across the world.  An RSS feed in Australia alerts a phone in New York.  The knowledge and experience I’ve developed can be grossly attributed to blogs and I feel it is now my duty to contribute as well.

I was driving home from work the day I started this blog and started to wonder.  Almost anything you post online becomes permanent. Information becomes cached, archived, translated, burned, and forgotten.  Long after I cease to exist, the words I type remain online…somewhere.  So, what information have I read that surpassed it’s authors life span?  What stranger has taught me lessons, techniques, and ideas that I use in my everyday life?

I’ve never been a skilled writer but I’m willing to do my best if you’re willing to read.  I may be confusing to some, and ignorant to others. But, if one person refers to my blog in order to solve a problem or gain an idea…I am a teacher.

Information is vital.  Google is only a gateway.  Here is my piece of immortality.
