I remember first reading blogs at the dawn of the web in the 1990s. A lot were awful, some were ok and a few were just awesome. They were the best way to learn new things, to get inspiration, fill you with wonder, nerd out or simply get you to stop and think. The early web was quite naive in many ways. There was a sense of openness that feels lost today, people seemed more authentic and less concerned with managing an online image. Everything was new and fresh, and everyone was excited. Never before in the history of the world could people communicate across the globe so easily, share interests or just hang out in chat rooms.
Over the years I’ve relied on these blogs and websites to solve problems and educate myself. Generally if you have a problem with some technology the first thing you do is search for the error on the web. If that didn’t work you may consider reading a manual. Nowadays you could also ask your AI.
So this site is my way of collecting the information I discover during a project. It serves as a repository for solutions to problems I encounter, both for my own future reference and for anyone else who might find themselves in similar situations. I find the act of writing forces me to think analytically and in a structured way. It gives me room to explore ideas and plot out courses of action or to design experiments to test them. In writing I can put flesh on the bones of thoughts, and hopefully learn a thing or two along the way.
