This is my personal 1990s moment: I'm starting a blog. And I writing this in a
café.[^la-scala] I writing this blog for few reasons.

Foremost, I like to write. I believe in
the cliché that clear writing is clear think. Writing helps me organize my
thoughts and present them in a way that is hopefully helpful to others.
Selfishly, this helps me either work through issues--professional or
otherwise--and do so in way that others will useful.

Secondly, I have had the fortune to have learned from many people during my
life.  I have also worked on several technical
problems.
I would like to use this platform to reflect on the lessons that I have
learned and pass these along to others.


[^la-scala]: [Caffé La Scala](https://www.caffelascala.com/menu) in Walnut
Creek, California to be precise. Highly recommended.
