Aaron Gerdes: Purpose

Purpose

To keep myself on track, I should lay out some thoughts on why the blog is here. These are subject to renegotiation as needed.

Defense of my honor. While meeting up Dave Gray, Riaz, and Toby Getsch in Bellevue on Wednesday, I committed to starting a blog or being publicly accused of lies. Here it is, guys! (Note: If you ever get a chance meet up with Dave, do so. I hear he always buys the drinks!) Thanks, Dave! :)

Clarification. My mind has been running like a guitar amplifier lately: good for growing ideas, but lots of extra noise/gain. Perhaps writing my thoughts where other people can read them will help.

Critique. I’m sure I don’t get enough of this! Aggregating it publicly will keep me honest with myself.

Technical difficulties delayed the announcement, Forrest! Typo (this blog engine) was pretty difficult for me to install. Lots learned, though!

No HTML, huh? Sorry about that mess, then.

I had to find out like this? I’m hurt. Anyhow, very pretty blog site. As usual, I’m impressed.
