Having a Voice on the Internet

Hi, and welcome to my first proper blog post! For the last 2-3 years I've been dreaming of having my own personal blog, and now it's finally here.

The blog will be a place for me to share some perspectives and lessons I've learned over the years. My hope is that they will be useful to those with questions on certain topics, or to shed some new light those topics, or at the very least be entertaining. I also want to start dev-blogging about various projects I'm working on, and so this is exactly the place where I can do that.

What's nice about a blog, especially if you own everything yourself, is that you can talk about almost anything. Maybe you're like me and have piles of ideas - some of which are very silly - and want to share them with someone. However, in real life it's not very advicable to start blabbering away at anyone you meet, but on your personal blog it's different. It's like an auditorium where everyone and anyone is welcome to join and listen.

A blog can also serve as a sort of diary where you get to re-visit ideas you had from years ago. Like a mini time machine. It's a reminder to how you felt in the moment, what topics you were interested in and what you were doing. It's pretty cool, and surprisingly useful. Another neat thing is if you often find yourself explaining certain topics, you can make a blog post on it and use it as a backing-tool for later. "Want to know about this thing? Well, I have a post about it here" See? Pretty neat.

So that's that, a short blog post, as I just need something to put out for now. Thanks for reading through!
