A lack of idea in addition to lacking the ability to write well outside of academia have both been factors in my avoidance of creating a blog. The main problem however was a mixture of a lack of direction and being too strict on myself. At times I was unsure of what exactly I wanted to write about and other times I felt as though I was obligated to write about a certain topic even when I didn't want to. This time around, I intend on being a bit more relaxed in my writing.
Now, an extremely brief personal introduction. I am an 18 year old software developer living in Columbia, South Carolina. I enjoy writing software and learning about new technologies related to the field in general (more on this later). I am currently a sophomore in college aiming for a Bachelor's in Computer Science. This is likely a hint as to what type of content this blog will be mostly about.
My purposes for creating this blog are not unlike the common reasons people tend to give: I want to document my experiences for future reference, teach what little I know and learn what I don't, improve my writing skills - or lack thereof - and discuss the things that I find interesting on the web and in the world.
I don't believe this blog will be much different from most of the other blogs in existence, but for those that actually take the time out to read it I hope you benefit from my thoughts in one way or another.
