It’s a good question: Why do I need a blog? The short answer is that I probably don’t. I’m at a stage of life where I barely have enough time to shower everyday, much less take time to sit down and pound out a few words once a week. It seems to be a standard in my industry, however. Plus, during my time in school (and even now), I owe much of my knowledge to fellow developers who chose to take those five minutes and sit down and share what they learned that day or that week. I definitely am in a place to give back to that community, so I’m going to make an effort.
I often spend far too much time working on a design for a site, and then after spending days on it, end up not using it or deciding I don’t like the design anymore. mediabounds.com alone has been through at least 6 redesigns, none of which I maintained longer than a week. So, instead of spending a lot of time on the design now, I’m going to just worry about content. This blog will have to earn the right to a design.
So, that’s the journey I’m proposing. I’m going to share me: what I’m learning at work, what I’m learning at home, and what I’m learning everywhere else.
