9unm3741So this is my first post on this thing. I've tried having a blog/journal twice before. The first time I was when the news was full of stories of people who had been offered jobs or paid money of some sort as a result of their blogs. I thought that since not having a blog meant a 0% chance of getting money for it, I should have a blog because it literally improved my chances infinitely. That didn't last long, as my interest faded as soon as no one knocked on my door with a bag of money. The second time was when I studied in DC for a semester. It was a great way to keep my friends in the know about my goings on. I could thus talk with them about DC without making them feel excluded, and it was a major success. And then I came back to Colorado and it all of a sudden had no purpose, and so now gathers dust somewhere on the internet. This time I hope to be more successful in keeping it active.
The real question is what am I going to put in this thing? Well I'm fairly uncomfortable with putting personal matters out on the internet. So you won't be seeing much of that, although I'm sure there will be some exceptions. Rather than be about me, I have decided that this will be about aspects of my life that are important to me. Namely, it will be about my interests. So I may put things like trip reports or gear reviews from my mountain climbing escapades. I may post Warhammer 40k battle reports and my thoughts on units and strategies and such. I may provide updates on my academic research. I may talk about computer hardwear. I may simply soap box about space policy. All of these things and more are on the table, but I hope the pattern is relatively apparent. I will try to stick to topics that are relatable to anyone with a similar interest, regardless of their connection with me personally. Don't worry, I'm sure there will still be plenty to read. As you can probably tell at this point I am fairly verbose. You can be sure that as long as I post something, you will not be lacking for something to read. And if you really want to hear about me personally, you can always ask :)
At some point I may also transport my live journal containing my stories from DC. I may also repost my climbing trip reports on here, or perhaps just links, depending on my mood. At any rate, wish me luck for keeping up with this thing. I will try to make my first substantive post tomorrow...er...today. The preview: it will be long, or multi-part. Topics will likely include but are not limited to: Canada, my masters program in science and technology studies, my research in space policy, video game impressions.
