This is my personal 1990s moment: I'm starting a blog. And am I writing this in a
|
|
|
|
|
café.[^la-scala] I have a few thoughts behind this:

Foremost, I like to write. I believe in the cliché that "clear writing is clear
|
|
|
|
|
thinking". Writing helps me organize my thoughts so that they are easy for
|
|
|
|
|
others to follow. If I can do that, then I really understand a topic.

Secondly, this is a way of giving back. I have had the good fortune to learn
|
|
|
|
|
from many people. I have struggled with technical and non-technical of topics.
|
|
|
|
|
I am hopeful that by recording what I have learned and the perspectives that I
|
|
|
|
|
have developed, I can be useful to others.

|
|
|
