My First Blog Post

Hello and welcome!

If you have ever talked to me over the past few years, you likely have heard many times that I was going to make a blog. Heck, a part of me thought it would never come to see the light of day. And yet as you are viewing this page, we have finally arrived.

This is what I hope to be the first of many posts here, as I share my thoughts on what I care about the most: gaming, writing, gadgets, and so much more. But I also hope this new site of mine can give any viewers a glimpse to what I have done and what I want to do.

If you asked me over a decade ago if I would ever make a personal blog, I would have responded with a resounding “NO THANKS”. My late father was such a passionate writer and blogger back when WordPress was coming alive that it really drove me away from the very idea. I was happy that he found a joyful pursuit, but I simply could not fathom sharing my thoughts with the internet. Compound that with trying to help manage his WordPress site, you end with an potent recipe for developing a distaste of the art.

But of course, a lot has changed since then. I’m a little older, a little wiser, and little smarter. I like coding for fun now, and I actually built this site up with knowledge I’ve learned from being a software engineer (no WordPress here, folks). I’ve discovered that I have plenty to say about many topics. And most importantly, now that I have a child of my own, I finally understand why my father went to such lengths to build out his blogs: to leave something behind for those who follow.

So again I say, welcome! Hope you enjoy what comes next 🙂.
